Symptoms
Assume that you set up an environment that combines log shipping and database mirroring in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. The database mirroring is running in high-safety mode and automatic failover is configured. In this situation, after an automatic failover, the log shipping may stop working, and the following error is logged in the SQL Server error log:
<Date><Time> spid# Error: 3456, Severity: 16, State: 1.
<Date><Time> spid# Could not redo log record (#), for transaction ID (#), on page (#), database '<DatabaseName>' (database ID #). Page: LSN = (#), type = #. Log: OpCode = #, context #, PrevPageLSN: (#). Restore from a backup of the database, or repair the database.

Additionally, some dump files are generated on the log shipping server.
