Following a server restart, two of three SQL Server databases in a SQL Server Database Mirroring configuration were stuck in recovery mode on the primary server.

Running sys.dm_tran_locks showed a session with a resource_database_id for each of the databases stuck in recovery.

It appeared that SQL Server Database Mirroring was preventing the recovery process completing on the two databases following the server restart.

The resolution was to stop and start the database mirroring endpoints on the primary and secondary SQL Servers.  To return a list of endpoints run select * from sys.endpoints.

To stop and restart the endpoints run

ALTER ENDPOINT %ENDPOINT NAME% STATE=STOPPED

ALTER ENDPOINT %ENDPOINT NAME% STATE=STARTED
