  Can anyone advise me of the correct procedure or direct me to documentation regarding recovering the master database from a production active/passive cluster to a cluster set up for a Disaster Recovery test?  The DR cluster is configured exactly the same as the production cluster.  I'm just unsure of the steps needed to recover the master from a backup from the production cluster to the DR test cluster.

  thanks,

  Sherri
