We are looking at using Mirroring to replace the DR solution set up previously in our Hyper-V environment now that we found Replication is not supported using hyper-v replica which is what was being done. The situation we have, AppDBServer is our application
database server, we replicate to RepReportingServer using transactional replication to report off of this server rather than hit the AppDBServer. We only replicate a subset of articles for performance reasons and also have many additional reporting tables
in the replicated database so we need to maintain that structure so we do not have to rewrite/touch reports. I understand we can use mirroring for HA/DR of our AppDBServer and set up the replication to handle failover using the PublicationFailoverPartner
which would give us 3 servers in the set up, AppDBServer, AppDBServerMirror and RepReportingServer, but how do I "mirror" that RepReportingServer? That seems to be a problem for me here. I need this reporting server in some kind of DR failover
environment also.
