We have an issue with the OS on SERVER1 which existed in some fashion or other at least since we migrated it to a Virtual Machine.
We are planning on creating two new servers to replace this server:
• SERVER2 – Primary replacement with log shipping
• SERVER3 – Secondary server – recipient of logs
Would like to have opinion on how to migrate the functions of the existing SERVER1 to these new servers and create a “Hi-Avail” type setup but staying inside our existing license structure.
Additionally when we spin up these servers both the OS and SQL version will go to current versions.
