Hi,

i have two SQL SERVER with instance name like instance1 and instance2.
i want to configure database mirroring between two.
instance1 is my primary/principal server
instance2 is secondary/mirror server.

i login to principal server select database and select mirror.
click on security to configure mirroring. first wizard ask me principal server instance name i select instance1 and ask for mirror server instance name i select instance2. mirroring done successfully.

problem is that when i launch mirroring dashboard its shows principal server connection with instance name that is instance1 and mirror server connection show with computer name nit with instance name. i believe it should show like instance2 but not.

pls tell what is the issue and how to correct it.
thanks.

Sounds like a bug in the dashboard then.

If it's a bug, you can check Connect to see if it's been previously reported. If it hasn't, you can report it. And if it is a bug, you can contact Microsoft for a fix.

If mirroring is working properly, does it really matter that the dashboard is showing the computer name?

Are you talking about renaming the host? Won't that break mirroring?

You'll need to rebuild mirroring if you do that.
