Hi experts,
Could I shutdown mirrored database instance any time for maintenance? Or is there any procedure to stop mirrored instance normally?
Sometimes I found if I just shutdown mirrored database instance maybe while it is restoring, the database will become suspend(and can't restore any more) after I restart it.
Should I always pause database mirroring in principal and wait for 10 ~ 30 minutes until all transaction logs are restored before I shutdown mirrored database instance? Is there a SOP?
