I’m testing SQL Server 2008 mirroring with a principal, a mirror and a witness. I’ve gone through the examples, restoring the mirror WITH NORECOVERY. The principal says it is synchronized. But the mirror still shows it is in a ‘restoring…’ state. Am I supposed to just leave it like that? Should I run a RESTORE WITH RECOVERY?
Yes, it stays in a recovering state.
The mirror isn’t directly accessible–it only goes ‘live’ when the main db goes down, and a failover occurs.
