I'm working on configuring database mirroring, I'm using MS-SQL 2008. My application connect to the database using ODBC (ODBC Driver 11), this version of ODBC allow me to specify the mirror server.
One SQL server is installed on Win Server 2008R2, the other one on Win Server 2012 R2. When the SQL database on the Win Server 2012 is acting as primary database, when I do the failover manually, the db go on "recovery mode" and the application is disconnected from the DB, as expected. But when I make the Failover from the SQL on the Win Server 2008 to the mirror on the Win Server 2012, the DB goes on "recovery mode", but the application stay connected to the DB, even in recovery mode.
Both servers have the same version of SQL Server (2008) and the same service packs and updates. What can be causing that application stay connected when the DB goes on recovery mode? could this be because the SO?
Thanks and Best Regards,
