Multiple sql servers to a single mirror

  • Hi,

    It seems the answer is no to this but I would like to confirm this.

    I have three SQL 2005 servers and I would like to setup data base mirroring. Can I get one server and then create mirrors for all three SQL servers on a single server?

    Thanks.

  • The way i'm reading it the scenario you have described is possible. You will have 3 principal instances with a principal database on each that use the 4th server as a mirror instance is that correct?

    What you can't do is have 1 principal mirroring a database out to 3 mirror instances, this is only possible with AlwaysOn groups in SQL Server 2012.

  • Thanks for your answer. Yes, you understood correctly. I actually spent few hours to create this in my lab and yes, I managed to create the mirrors for three different database (from multiple servers) to one server.

    Thanks again.

  • No problem
