SYMPTOMS
When you use SQL Enterprise Manager (SEM) to mirror a device the name is truncated to 29 characters.

However, the Mirror Name field in the Database Device Mirroring dialog box accepts more characters.

CAUSE
SQL Enterprise Manager is truncating the name of the mirror.

WORKAROUND
Use the Disk Mirror command to set up the mirror. The command is documented in the SQL Server "Transact-SQL Reference" guide, under "Disk Mirror Statement."

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0.
