error # 1416

  • Dear Experts

    i have a question and need your urgent reply,

    i had this setup

    i have 3 servers with ms sql server 2008 r2 , Principal Server ,Mirror Server and witness server

    i configured the database mirroring after testing i removed the database mirroring from principal server, after removing the mirroring on mirror server the database status changed to Restoring , i wait for long time but still was showing restoring and didn't become online. so i deleted the database so i stopped the sql services on mirror server to copy the MDF and LDF files than i copied both files to another location and than i deleted the database which was showing restoring status.

    than i attached the database which i copied to another location and i am to able attach the database after giving full permissions to both files.

    after that i went to principal server to configure mirror again through configure security wizard after completing all the steps when i click on Start Mirroring button it gives error message " Database is not configured for datbase Mirroring (Microsoft SQL Server,Error 1416)

    can you please let me know how i can reconfigure the mirroring without restoring database.
