    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

    The 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.

    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.

    Thanks 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.
