Hi All,
So my company provides disaster recovery solutions and we are trying to come up with an automated process to verify SQL database health during DR tests without direct access to SQL. Our clients do not want to give out their passwords or permission any of our accounts access to their SQL databases. So without running queries or powershell commands against SQL are there any other ways to determine that SQL databases have mounted and are healthy? I've been trying to identify eventIDs that might suggest the databases are healthy but haven't found anything really concrete yet. I've also tried parsing through the SQL error logs to see if they give a distinct "yes databases mounted without error" or "no databases did not mount" responses.
Our clients are mostly running SQL 2008 on windows 2008 r2 operating systems
Thank you
