Abstract

High-availability is a critical feature to database customers; having a way to measure and characterize availability is important for guiding system development and evaluating different HA technologies. This paper describes extensions to the TPC-E benchmark for availability measurement, including HA scenario simulation, fault injection, and availability metric reporting. The implementation details and exemplary test results on SQL Server 2008 Database Mirroring are also described.
