Hi,
I am looking to move my SQL Server 2008 R2 cluster to azure but I don't want the cost of moving the whole cluster. Because of that, I want to remove the clustered features and just have SQL on a single server (the active cluster node). The SQL volumes are presented via iSCSI.
My question is the following:
If I remove both passive then active nodes, does it just remove the clustered features or does it move SQL entirely?
Basically, when I remove the cluster, will I have to re-install SQL again from scratch or will it still be installed on the active node so I can just re-attach the databases?
I cant find any documentation telling me what will happen.
Thanks!
Brendan
