SQL Mirroring - manual failover

The following steps show a quick description of the process of installing K2 with a standby system using SQL mirroring:

Install and configure K2 on the primary environment - the K2 database would be mirrored to the standby environment. Use the SQL alias in the K2 configuration to the SQL box. Also install the SharePoint components.

Stop K2 services on primary environment.

Fail-over the mirror to the standby environment.

Adjust the load balanced URL to point to the standby environment.

Install K2 on the standby environment ensuring that the SQL alias is used and the NLB address is used.

Disable K2 services on the standby environment.

Adjust the load balanced URL to the primary environment again.

Fail-over the SQL database mirror to the primary environment again.

Start the K2 services on the primary environment and check the log files to be sure no errors were encountered.
