I've searched the forums here at dba.se and other places on the Net and haven't found a specific answer. I know this question looks similar to many, but the ones that I've found only address how to shrink a log file, which I already know how to perform.

I happen to be in one of those unique positions that a log shrink is necessary.

My specific question is:

When I perform a log shrink on the primary in a mirrored set, do I then failover and perform a log shrink on the "new" primary?

Or does this somehow replicate the changes to the secondary, making the manually failover unnecessary?

Just do the shrink on the primary:

Can I shrink the transaction log file on a mirror database?

No need to fail over and shrink the secondary.

  • Thank you, Brent! I was pretty sure that I performed a pretty thorough search on here and don't remember seeing that post. Had I paid better attention, I wouldn't have posted this question.
