On SQL Server 2008 Standard license.
I have just tested DB Mirroring with witness with the following setup:
Server A - Principal, Server B -
Mirror, Server C - Witness, Client
So I ran an insert of 100000 rows from Client connecting to Server A. At about 10k, I killed the services in Server A (simulatingServer A crashes), my connection on Client was terminated as well.
With the witness, it did automatically make Server B the principal. I was able to connect toServer B and query / insert / etc.
My question is,
1) Is there a way to set up DB Mirroring so the traffic automatically re-route toServer B?
2) If not, what are my options to re-route traffic to Server B and continues to insert toServer B, keeping in mind this is SQL2008.
Thank you.
