Cluster drives moving windows server 2003 r2 32 bit

ITKE — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:10:58 +0000

We currently have a two node Windows 2003 R2 32 bit cluster. There are about 6 data “drives” in it, running on our EMC SAN.

We’re wanting to replace the cluster with newer hardware. I’ve set up a new2003 R2 x64 two node cluster, and I want to move the data drives from the existing cluster to the new one. I’m just wanting to move the data drives, I have a new quorum drive on the new cluster.

The total of all the drives is about 4TB, so I a backup/restore isn’t really an option , I just want to move the SAN resources from the old cluster to the one.

The SAN side of the move isn’t an issue, I can move the LUN’s from the old group to the new one, but I’m looking for some information about having the new cluster properly recognized the transferred “drive”

Trouble with SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor when trying to detect an instance

SQL Server Ask the Experts — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 18:34:16 +0000

I installed the SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor so I can analyze our SQL Server 2000 instance and DTS packages. Even though SQL Server 2000 is up and running, it does not recognize our instance when going to the pull-down menu, nor does it recognize it when I key in the instance name. We are running on a Windows Cluster and the cluster servers are attached to a SAN. Is the cluster/SAN environment the reason it cannot detect the instance or s there a trick or a different set of procedures to follow when installing and running the tool in a cluster/SAN environment?
