We have 2 SQL servers in a Synchronous Database Mirroring (High-Safety Mode) mode. We'll call them SQL1(principal) and SQL2(failover). We need to take down SQL1 for let's says 2 days due to some unforeseen hardware issues. So when we take down SQL1 the failover SQL server (SQL2) will then become the principal. While we perform maintenance on SQL1 we were going to suspend the mirror.
My question is how long can/should we run in this suspended state? And when I bring SQL1 back online will I be able to resume mirroring without having to break the mirror and recreate it?
Thanks,
Jerry
