Hello:
We have multiple databases running in a Failover Cluster instance: SQL 2012SP1 on Server 2008 R2 failover cluster (NOT AlwaysOn). We are trying to add a high-performance mirror in a standalone instance for DR. My understanding is that should be a perfectly normal, supported configuration.
The mirroring is working properly; however, the clustered SQL Server agent is unable to run jobs that run in the mirrored databases.
We get the following in the job log: Unable to connect to SQL Server 'VIRTUALSERVERNAME\INSTANCE'. The step failed.
There is a partner message in the agent log: [165] ODBC Error: 0, Connecting to a mirrored SQL Server instance using the MultiSubnetFailover connection option is not supported. [SQLSTATE IMH01]
The cluster is not a mulitsubnet cluster. All hosts are connected to the same subnets and there is no storage replication. I can not find any place where I can adjust the connect string options for SQL Agent.
Any guidance or suggestions on how to resolve this would be appreciated.
