如何在SQL Server 2008 R2上禁用Filestream以启用镜像？

Question

I'm enabling database mirroring on SQL Server 2008 R2, I've already configured my servers but when trying to start mirroring I get the following error:

An error occurred while starting mirroring.

I don't even have files on my database so I'd like to turn off filestream, how can I do it?

Thanks

Answer 1

I ran into this issue when trying to test mirroring between 2 qa servers. Right click database --> Properties --> Filegroups

Remove filestream and click ok. Make sure to do on both servers or it will still fail.

Answer 2

FILESTREAM is configured at the server instance level. Use SQL Server Configuration Manager to disable. Under SQL Server Configuration Manager -> SQL Server Services. Find the service, right-click, properties:

Answer 3

Although I don't have any columns that uses FILESTREAM, for some reason I had a filegroup containing filestream. I could solve the issue by removing the filegroup

ALTER DATABASE MyDBName
REMOVE FILEGROUP MyFileGroupName

Thanks

Answer 4

Database Mirroring and FILESTREAM data not allowed

Just to verify, I tested out Database Mirroring with the full version of AdventureWorks2008 and, although it let me setup the Mirroring endpoints, it did not allow Mirroring to start giving an error 5574: “A database cannot be enabled for both FILESTREAM storage and Database Mirroring”.
