Database Mirroring: Interoperability and Coexistence (SQL Server)

Database mirroring can be used with the following features or components of SQL Server:

• AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances (SQL Server Failover Clustering)

• Change data capture (and change tracking)

• Database snapshots

• Full-text catalogs

• Log shipping

• Replication

Database mirroring does not interoperate with the following:
