NAME Set-DbaDbMirror
SYNOPSIS
Sets properties of database mirrors.
SYNTAX
Set-DbaDbMirror [[-SqlInstance] <Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>] [[-SqlCredential]
<Pscredential>] [[-Database] <System.String[]>] [[-Partner] <String>] [[-Witness] <String>] [[-SafetyLevel]
<String>] [[-State] <String>] [[-InputObject] <Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database[]>] [-EnableException
<Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Sets properties of database mirrors.
PARAMETERS
-Database [<System.String[]>]
The target database.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-EnableException [<Switch>]
By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables
advanced scripting.
Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own
try/catch.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-InputObject [<Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database[]>]
Allows piping from Get-DbaDatabase.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Partner [<String>]
Sets the partner Fully Qualified Domain Name.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SafetyLevel [<String>]
Sets the mirroring safety level.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SqlCredential [<Pscredential>]
Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory -
Integrated are all supported.
For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-SqlInstance [<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]
The target SQL Server instance or instances. This can be a collection and receive pipeline input to allow the
function
to be executed against multiple SQL Server instances.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-State [<String>]
Sets the mirror state.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Witness [<String>]
Sets the witness Fully Qualified Domain Name.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? False

<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,

-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Set-DbaDbMirror -SqlInstance sql2005 -Database dbatools -Partner TCP://SQL2008.ad.local:5374
Prompts for confirmation then sets the partner to TCP://SQL2008.ad.local:5374 for the database "dbtools"
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Set-DbaDbMirror -SqlInstance sql2005 -Database dbatools -Witness TCP://SQL2012.ad.local:5502 -Confirm:$false
Does not prompt for confirmation and sets the witness to TCP://SQL2012.ad.local:5502 for the database "dbtools"
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 3 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Get-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance sql2005 | Out-GridView -PassThru | Set-DbaDbMirror -SafetyLevel Full
-Confirm:$false
Sets the safety level to Full for databases selected from a grid view. Does not prompt for confirmation.
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 4 --------------------------
PS C:\\>Set-DbaDbMirror -SqlInstance sql2005 -Database dbatools -State Suspend -Confirm:$false
Does not prompt for confirmation and sets the state to suspend for the database "dbtools"
