OPTIMIZING DATABASE MIGRATION IN HIGH AVAILABILITY AND DISASTER RECOVERY COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes to optimize migration of databases in high availability and disaster recovery (HADR) computing environments. An endpoint associated with a new primary database server is modified to be compatible with a first encryption mechanism and a second encryption mechanism. Database mirroring between an old primary database server and an old secondary database server is disabled, and database mirroring is configured between the old primary database server and the new primary database server. A failover operation is performed by migrating one or more databases from the old primary database to the new primary database, and database mirroring between the old primary database server and the new primary database server is disabled.
