I may have been confusing it with the quorum required on a cluster failover.Tue, 02 Dec 2008 13:48:31 GMTJamie Longstreet-481950http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic611847-1426-1.aspxJamie, are you saying the monitor server in logshipping actually initiates the failover? I thought it just monitored the current health. I haven't used log shipping since 2000, but I remember setting up procedures and scripts to do the failover and failback and we had to kick it off manually (we could have created our own 'trigger' scripts, but wanted a human to make the determination when the system was "down"). The witness server in mirroring does initiate a failover, but I thought logshipping was still manual.ChadTue, 02 Dec 2008 13:19:31 GMT Chad Crawfordhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic611847-1426-1.aspxComments posted to this topic are about the item [B]<A HREF="/questions/SQL+Server+2008+Administration/65029/">High Availability</A>[/B]Tue, 02 Dec 2008 00:29:09 GMTblank
