With a SQL 2008 high-safety database mirroring setup with automatic failover, what if the witness is offline?

I assume it just means the automatic failover does not occur if the primary server goes offline too.

With the witness offline, will the Primary server still function properly and the mirror server still mirror?

Yes.


No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.
