Hi,
According to the FIM Infrastructure Planning Guide (IPD):
- FIM Service database: SQL Server can be clustered for fault tolerance (there is no mention of other high availability and disaster recovery strategies like database mirroring and log shipping in this part of the IPD document)
- FIM Sync Service database: The FIM Synchronization Service database can be hosted on a clustered instance of SQL Server for fault tolerance. Other high availability and disaster recovery strategies like database mirroring and log shipping can also be used to provide fault tolerance for the SQL Server database, whether located locally or remotely
Question 1:
Based on this IPD document, FIM Service database does NOT support "Other high availability and disaster recovery strategies like database mirroring and log shipping"?
Question 2:
SQL these days has numerous High Availability options, how many of these are supported by both MIM databases:
- SQL Clustering
- Availability Groups
- Database Mirroring
- Log Shipping
- any other?
It would be awesome if Microsoft could give us a clear answer to these HA options for MIM SQL databases please.
Thx,
SK
