I see, so I'll need to turn off the mirror, mount the disk on the second node when it becomes available, mount the disk on the first node (as a single disk, not a replication target) then set up the drive as a failover resource on the cluster - then I need to turn the mirror back on (which will make...

I'm having some issues getting this configuration to work. Right now, I'm I've just got a single mirror hosted on node 1, with the replication image hosted on node 2 with clustering turned on. I'm trying to have node 2 mount the replication disk so that I can automatically fail over to it in case no...

Excellent! I will have to add another node to my cluster and try this configuration out.

Is this the supported way of replicating to multiple locations?

Ahh I see now! I tried the configuration you mentioned before but was unable to mount the secondary image - I thought I had clustering turned on but maybe I was mistaken. So you're saying that if I turn clustering on the second image (the image that the mirror is replicating to) that I should be abl...

So far so good! This weekend I'm going to start doing some really serious testing to see if I can break it - but so far everything is operating fantastically. SQL 2005 is using the drive as a shared-drive and the replication seems to be working perfectly. Restarting the primary node doesn't seem to ...

Thanks for your response! I'm sort of confused by what you're telling me though - how will the second mirror still be able to replicate the data from the first mirror? How do you set this configuration up?

I'm jumping in a little over my head here, but I'm learning how to setup and maintain failover clusters using Microsoft Windows Server 2008. My setup is a little weird - essentially I have two servers that are acting like geographically dispersed servers even though they are located in the same phys...

Thanks for your time but I JUST figured it out! I was using the DNS name of the remote target and I needed to use the ip address. Bone-headed mistake, but one I just kept making. It works GREAT now! I'm battle testing it at the moment. I will have many more questions shortly, I'm sure. Thanks so muc...

Please start with upgrading to the most recent StarWind build. Then if the problem will be still there catch and send us back both target's logs. It will definitely put a bit more light on this issue :) Thanks! I just tried the latest build and I get the same issue. Any clues as to what this error ...

I'm trying to run a replication mirror across two nodes and I'm getting the following error message when I try to check and synchronize: Command failed: passive mirror is invalid. Mirror reopening failed. My setup is two Windows Server 2008 machines running 3.5.3 build 20080229 the mirror host's pro...
