Configuring database mirroring

You can use Microsoft® SQL Server® 2005 or 2008 database mirroring to configure the BlackBerry® Configuration
Database for high availability.
The BlackBerry Configuration Database only supports high safety with automatic failover (synchronous) operating
mode for database mirroring.

Stop the BlackBerry Enterprise Server instances

To maintain database integrity, you must prevent all services that use the BlackBerry® Configuration Database from
connecting to the databases while you configure replication.

of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server services in the following order:
• BlackBerry Administration Service services
• BlackBerry Mail Store Service
• BlackBerry Instant Messaging Connector
• BlackBerry MDS Connection Service
• BlackBerry Dispatcher
• BlackBerry Attachment Service
• BlackBerry Controller
• all of the remaining BlackBerry Enterprise Server services that connect to the BlackBerry Configuration
Database
2. Repeat step 1 for each BlackBerry Enterprise Server component that connects to the BlackBerry Configuration
Database.
