Are there any issues with an Active/Active cluster with a remote mirror for DRP

Hi folks,

We are going thru the process of scoping an active/active cluster at one site.
I was wondering whether there will be any issues with mirroring (DB by DB) off the cluster into non clustered server at an alternate DRP site.

Hi Brian,

Mirroring and clustering work well together, however as a best practice you should not use the auto failover capabilities since they may result in a failover to the DR site in situations where you want to failover locally using clustering. Be sure to enable alerts when you choose to use manual failover with mirroring.
