function Invoke-DbaDbMirroring { <# .SYNOPSIS Automates the creation of database mirrors. .DESCRIPTION Automates the creation of database mirrors. * Verifies that a mirror is possible * Sets the recovery model to Full if needed * If the database does not exist on mirror or witness, a backup/restore is performed * Sets up endpoints if necessary * Creates a login and grants permissions to service accounts if needed * Starts endpoints if needed * Sets up partner for mirror * Sets up partner for primary * Sets up witness if one is specified NOTE: If a backup / restore is performed, the backups will be left in tact on the network share. .PARAMETER Primary SQL Server name or SMO object representing the primary SQL Server. .PARAMETER PrimarySqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential). Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported. For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance. .PARAMETER Mirror SQL Server name or SMO object representing the mirror SQL Server. .PARAMETER MirrorSqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential). Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported. For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance. .PARAMETER Witness SQL Server name or SMO object representing the witness SQL Server. .PARAMETER WitnessSqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential). Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported. For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance. .PARAMETER Database The database or databases to mirror. .PARAMETER SharedPath The network share where the backups will be backed up and restored from. Each SQL Server service account must have access to this share. NOTE: If a backup / restore is performed, the backups will be left in tact on the network share. .PARAMETER InputObject Enables piping from Get-DbaDatabase. .PARAMETER UseLastBackup Use the last full backup of database. .PARAMETER Force Drop and recreate the database on remote servers using fresh backup. .PARAMETER WhatIf Shows what would happen if the command were to run. No actions are actually performed. .PARAMETER Confirm Prompts you for confirmation before executing any changing operations within the command. .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .NOTES Tags: Mirroring, Mirror, HA Author: Chrissy LeMaire (@cl), netnerds.net Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Invoke-DbaDbMirroring .EXAMPLE PS C:\> $params = @{ >> Primary = 'sql2017a' >> Mirror = 'sql2017b' >> MirrorSqlCredential = 'sqladmin' >> Witness = 'sql2019' >> Database = 'pubs' >> SharedPath = '\\nas\sql\share' >> } >> PS C:\> Invoke-DbaDbMirroring @params Performs a bunch of checks to ensure the pubs database on sql2017a can be mirrored from sql2017a to sql2017b. Logs in to sql2019 and sql2017a using Windows credentials and sql2017b using a SQL credential. Prompts for confirmation for most changes. To avoid confirmation, use -Confirm:$false or use the syntax in the second example. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> $params = @{ >> Primary = 'sql2017a' >> Mirror = 'sql2017b' >> MirrorSqlCredential = 'sqladmin' >> Witness = 'sql2019' >> Database = 'pubs' >> SharedPath = '\\nas\sql\share' >> Force = $true >> Confirm = $false >> } >> PS C:\> Invoke-DbaDbMirroring @params Performs a bunch of checks to ensure the pubs database on sql2017a can be mirrored from sql2017a to sql2017b. Logs in to sql2019 and sql2017a using Windows credentials and sql2017b using a SQL credential. Drops existing pubs database on Mirror and Witness and restores them with a fresh backup. Does all the things in the description, does not prompt for confirmation. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> $map = @{ 'database_data' = 'M:\Data\database_data.mdf' 'database_log' = 'L:\Log\database_log.ldf' } PS C:\> Get-ChildItem \\nas\seed | Restore-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance sql2017b -FileMapping $map -NoRecovery PS C:\> Get-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance sql2017a -Database pubs | Invoke-DbaDbMirroring -Mirror sql2017b -Confirm:$false Restores backups from sql2017a to a specific file structure on sql2017b then creates mirror with no prompts for confirmation. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance sql2017a -Database pubs | >> Invoke-DbaDbMirroring -Mirror sql2017b -UseLastBackup -Confirm:$false Mirrors pubs on sql2017a to sql2017b and uses the last full and logs from sql2017a to seed.
