Sc-2, Principal Server is down Mirror is up.

To force service in a database mirroring session


1. Connect to the mirror server.
2. Issue the following statement:

ALTER DATABASE <database_name> SET PARTNER FORCE_SERVICE_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS

where <database_name> is the mirrored database.


The mirror server immediately transitions to principal server, and mirroring is suspended.
Note- We strongly recommends that you force service only if the principal server is no longer running. Otherwise,
some clients might continue to access the original principal database instead of the new principal database.

When principle server is up then


1. Click Resume mirroring from current principle server
2. Then click Failover
3. Check old principle server is now active
