| Don't need same hardware, OS required depends on sql edition. |

| The only hardware I would suggest definately making the same are the nic cards. You don't want your production server to be a gigabit and your mirror server to have a NIC card that is less than a gigabit. I have had this issue... the transactions start to queue and the witness server starts sending out alerts (if you have them set) because the transactions are unable to applied fast enough to the mirror server.I hope this helps!Good Luck!Brett DavisSenior SQL Server DBAFor more helpful tips checkout my blog at: http://www.lockergnome.com/sqlsquirrel/ |
