Set Up a Mirror Database to Use the Trustworthy Property


To setup a mirror database to use the Trustworthy Property

  1. On the principal server instance, verify that the principal database has the Trustworthy property turned on.

    SELECT name, database_id, is_trustworthy_on FROM sys.databases 
    
    
  2. After starting mirroring, verify that the database is currently the principal database, the session is using a synchronous operating mode, and the session is already synchronized.


    SELECT database_id, mirroring_role, mirroring_safety_level_desc, mirroring_state_desc FROM sys.database_mirroring
    
    
  3. Once the mirroring session is synchronized, manually fail over to the mirror database.
    This can be done in either SQL Server Management Studio or using Transact-SQL:
  4. Turn on the trustworthy database property using the following ALTER DATABASE command:


    ALTER DATABASE <database_name> SET TRUSTWORTHY ON
    
    
  5. Optionally, manually failover again to return to the original principal.

  6. Optionally, switch to asynchronous, high-performance mode by setting SAFETY to OFF and ensuring that WITNESS is also set to OFF.
