Environment:
2 Node
(Active\Passive)
Windows
2008 SP2 SQL 2008 SP3
1,976 databases
My question is about upgrading these two to R2 and what would it take, is it possible to
stay within the cluster for uptime if not how to migrate all the user accounts
and databases to the new environment ect. ect. I read i couldn't simply update
the Passive node to R2 windows and SQL and then fail it over and do the same
with the other node like i would on a Service pack. Is that true?
My concern is downtime. Unfortunately i don't have enough SAN space to have two copies of
our SQL data since it's a little over 10TB. I'm just looking for the least amount of downtime.
