Hi Experts,
Needed guidance if you would suggest setting up async mirroring on VLDB say 5 TB SAP OLTP warehouse database having roughly 700 GB of changes everyday.
Any Links pertaining to the same would be helpful.
Cheers
Samy

Wednesday, February 13, 2013 9:44 PMThe only way to know if it will work is to test before going into production. You would specifically need to monitor I/O and network.

700 GB of Change a day is quite a lot, but definetly doable. Allan already pointed out the key Areas: I/O and Network. One more Thing here: You should only do this with Enterprise Edition SQL. Otherwise you might run into a bottleneck within the Redo thread.- Proposed As Answer by harrison_123 Thursday, February 14, 2013 9:59 AM

size is not the issue to set up the mirroring.
Allen & prince are taking about the performance due to massive amount of data transfer between principal and secondary.
you have to take good care of I/O and network. And MOde of mirroring.

Thursday, February 14, 2013 6:08 AMThanks Kumar, I do understand the same. It would be helpful if there is any case study\Link there for reference for setting up Async mirroring on databases of 5 TB with heavy load on them.
