  • Jus as an FYI, there was no need to do the restore again. The probles was that the restore you did, you specified NORECOVERY. To get the database out of this state, you would just executin something like:

    RESTORE DATABASE dbname WITH RECOVERY

  • TiborK

    I got the same thing.  What I did was an initial mistake and went like this

    had a db called «A», on Server-1
    asked to take a db called «Z» on Server-2, back it up, restore it to Server-1

    DUMB thing I did was NOT create the new DB first on Server-1.  I just restored it overtop another db, in this case «A» on Server-1.
    Realizing my mistake, I immediately, went to backups, restored to a point in time recovery on db «A», Server-1 and got the ERROR 927 !!

    NOW, Not sure how to resolve the ERROR 927:

    any help, please,

  • So you by mistale overwrote A on server 1 with a backup of Z from server 2? And you took an old backup of A and restored it on top if yout database A (possibly several restores including log restore), and the database A is now in restoring state? If so,

    RESTORE DATABAS A WITH RECOVERY

Mirror — Configuring Endpoints

Error 927 - Database Cannot Be Opened While Mirroring Configuration - SQL Server

Mirror — DB Properties

Error 927 - Database Cannot Be Opened While Mirroring Configuration - SQL Server

Mirror — Error 927

Database dbname cannot be opened. It is in the middle of a restore. (Microsot SQL Server, Error:927)

The error comes when we click on Start Mirroring. 

Error 927 - Database Cannot Be Opened While Mirroring Configuration - SQL Server

Steps which you will have  followed to get to this point:

  1. Connect the principal server
  2. Take the latest full backup of the database for which mirroring is required
  3. Also take the latest transaction backup of this database
  4. Connect the mirror server (node)
  5. Restore the full and transaction backup on mirror server with «Restore with norecovery» option
  6. After this you come to principal server
  7. In SSMS (SQL server management studio): Connect the instance
  8. In Object explorer, expand the database list
  9. Right click the database (for which we need to configure the mirroring), select the option «Mirror»
  10. On this window, click on configure security
  11. Here you will get the option to configure the witness server, if you have the witness server then click «yes» or if you don’t want to configure the security for witness server click «No» then click «Next»
  12. Here you will see the principal server intance window, Listener port number and Endpoint name , then «Next»
  13. Here you will see the Mirror server instance window, click «Connect». Select the mirror server instance then click «Connect»
  14. Automatically mirror listener port and endpoint will be filled, click «Next»
  15. Here you will see the service account window, no need to fill this, click «Next»
  16. Here you will see the complete the wizard window, click «Finish», then «Next»
  17. Then click «Start Mirroring»
  18. And here you will get the error: 927.

Actually this is not an error, this msg tell us that the database, for which you want to configure the mirror, is not fully restored; i.e. it’s in the middle of the restore. 

First Solution 

For this we need to restore the latest transaction log backup on mirror server/mirror node. Then click on start mirroring again at principal node,  and it will work.

Second Solution 

If we have restored the full backup and the latest log backup as well and we are still getting error 927, then we need to execute the below-mentioned command as directed:

On Mirror Server run this

ALTER DATABASE <Database_Name> SET PARTNER = ‘TCP://<Principal Server>:5022’ 

Exp. : ALTER DATABASE Test SET PARTNER = ‘TCP://Testserver_Principal:5022’

On Principal Server run this

ALTER DATABASE <Database_Name> SET PARTNER = ‘TCP://<Mirror Server>:5022’

Exp. ALTER DATABASE Test SET PARTNER = ‘TCP://Testserver_Mirror:5022’

After execution of the above commands on respective mirror and principal server, mirroring will be configured successfully.

Reading sql server error log location from SQL Query

Identifying SQL Server Error Log File used by SQL Server Database Engine can be done by reading SQL Server Error Logs. DBA can execute the XP_READERRORLOG extended stored procedure to read the SQL Server Error Log and search for its location used by the instance of SQL Server.

USE master
Go
xp_readerrorlog 0, 1, N'Logging SQL Server messages in file', NULL, NULL, N'asc'
Go

The parameters for XP_READERRRORLOG are:
1. Value of error log file we would like to read. values are 0 = current, 1 = last one before current, 2 = second last before current etc…
2. Log file type:- 1 or NULL = error log, 2 = SQL Agent log
3. Search string 1:- String one you want to search for
4. Search string 2:- String two you want to search for to further refine the results
5. start time for Search
6. end time for search
7. Sort order for search results:- N’asc’ = ascending, N’desc’ = descending

By default, we have 6 Server Error Logs kept but we can increase the number of SQL Server Error Logs from the default value of six.

For other ways to read and find error log location please our artcile https://sqlserver-dba.co.uk/error-log/sql-server-identify-location-of-the-sql-server-error-log-file.html

Solution for Resolving the Error

1. For this we need to restore the latest transaction log backup on mirror server/mirror node. Then click on start mirroring again at principal node,  and it will work.

2. If we have restored the full backup and the latest log backup as well and we are still getting error 927, then we need to execute the command

On Mirror Server we need to run the SQL below

ALTER DATABASE <Database_Name> SET PARTNER = ‘TCP://<Principal Server>:5022’ 

Exp. : ALTER DATABASE TestDB SET PARTNER = ‘TCP://Testserver_Principal:5022’

On Principal Server we need to run the SQL below

ALTER DATABASE <Database_Name> SET PARTNER = ‘TCP://<Mirror Server>:5022’

Exp. ALTER DATABASE TestDB SET PARTNER = ‘TCP://Testserver_Mirror:5022’

Now, after executing of the above SQL commands on mirror and principal server, mirroring will be configured successfully.

Now start mirroring and it will work.

I came across a bug while testing the setup of Database Mirroring on SQL Server 2016 Standard Edition with SP1 and using the newest version of SQL Server SQL Server Management Studio: v17.8.1

 

Firstly, the preparation went fine.

 
Create the database on the Principal and perform both a Full and Transaction Log Backup of the new database.

 
CREATE DATABASE db1;
BACKUP DATABASE db1 TO DISK = 'C:SQLBackupsdb1.bak';
BACKUP LOG db1 TO DISK = 'C:SQLBackupsdb1.trn';

 

Next restore the backups on the Mirror.

 
RESTORE DATABASE db1 FROM DISK='\SQL2K16SEP1SQLBackups$db1.bak' WITH NORECOVERY;
RESTORE LOG db1 FROM DISK='\SQL2K16SEP1SQLBackups$db1.trn' WITH NORECOVERY;

 

The firewall Inbound Rules for both SQL / Mirroring were added on the Principal and Mirror.

 

Good so all the prep work is done, lets proceed to setup Mirroring using the Wizard on Principal.

 

Go through the Configure Security steps.

 








Bang you get the following 927 error:
Database ‘db1’ cannot be opened. It is in the middle of a restore. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 927)

 

So, what is going on here?

 
Looking at Profiler during the setup we see that the GUI issues a use [db1] on the Mirror instance and of course that is going to end badly as the database is not accessible and hence you get the error that ‘db1’ cannot be opened. Microsoft needs to update the GUI to use [master].

 

So how do you resolve this?

 
Well you need to complete the Database Mirroring setup manually and the steps are:

 
1.) On the Mirror use the following to set the principal as a partner:
ALTER DATABASE [db1] SET PARTNER = 'TCP://SQL2K16SEP1:5022';

 

2.) Then finally on the Principal use the following to set the mirror as a partner:

 
ALTER DATABASE [db1] SET PARTNER = 'TCP://SQL2K16SEDR1:5022';

 

Database Mirroring should now be working.

 

I’m sure Microsoft will address this issue in a future release of SSMS, but until then the above should hopefully assist you until then.

Microsoft SQL Server allows the user to back up their data to protect data from damage and loss, and create a .bak file. SQL users can easily restore the database from the backup file (BAK) using the SSMS or T-SQL command as needed. Sometimes when the restoration is complete and users try to access their SQL data, the following error is displayed on the screen: SQL Database cannot be Opened. It is in the middle of a restore.

SQL Database Cannot be Opened. It is In The Middle of a Restore

This error occurs because the administrator used NORECOVERY mode for restoration and it does not allow the use of the database. Now you should use WITH RECOVERY MODE to restore the database so that you can easily access the data. Before proceeding with the process to fix this error, first, read the user query that has encountered the same problem.

Real User Query

Hello, I just restored a database without recovery (which I later want to set to read-only). The restore operation resulted in “successfully restored,” but I can not access this database at all, because the error message “Database cannot be opened, it is in the middle of a restore”. It has been in this state for a while. How do I get out of this state?

Fix SQL Database Cannot Be Opened. It is In The Middle of a Restore Issue

To rectify this error, we need to use the WITH RECOVERY option. Follow these steps to do the same:

T-SQL
Script For Restoring Database WITH RECOVERY

RESTORE DATABASE Databasename FROM DISK = ‘C:databasename.BAK’

WITH RECOVERY

GO

Recover
a Database from the ‘Restoring’ State

If the database is in the restoring state and unavailable to users,
run the command to make it accessible to users.

RESTORE DATABASE Databasename WITH RECOVERY

GO

Restore
Multiple Backups using WITH RECOVERY option

The user can use the NORECOVERY option to restore the database in
case if the user has multiple backups except in the last. But for the
last backup, the user must use WITH RECOVERY option to restore all
transaction logs and put the database online.

RESTORE DATABASE databasename FROM DISK = ‘C:Databasename.BAK’

WITH NORECOVERY

GO

RESTORE LOG databasename FROM DISK = ‘C:Databasename.TRN’

WITH RECOVERY

GO
