In this post we are going to see below mentioned topics for Lync 2013 High Availability and Disaster Recovery.
  • Configuring Database Mirroring and Backup Pool Registrars 
  • Experiencing SQL Server Failure or Outage 
  • Experiencing a Pool Failure or Outage

Before initiating the steps we must consider few important key notes for performing Disaster Recovery.
  •  To perform the Disaster Recovery or High Availability we must have minimum 3 SQL Servers with Enterprise Edition.
  • Confirm all these SQL Servers have the same version.
  • Create SQL Mirroring before starting the Disaster Test. Refer the following URL to understand how to create SQL Mirroring http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v0OW2WfoIo
