Edition change in clustered environment

  • Has anybody tried changinging sql2005 edition in clustered environment? Non clustered case is straight forward. If I remamber correctly that proccess messes with resource and msdb databases, installs some components and downgrades level to RTM. Is edition chage cluster-aware? Unfortunatly I don't have enough resources to setup VMs and check.

    I've been looking for answere for a few days with no success.

    Many thanks!

  • I'm trying to find a source linkt to give you but I am sure that in 2005 you can only Cluster Enterprise edition.

    When you say 'edition' what do you mean? What is your OS and what are you trying to move to?

  • Standard Edition can be clustered - we have many instances of it where I work. As for changing the edition, I don't know. Why can't it be done the same as for any other instance?

  • I think I can be done (installer by definition is cluster-aware and able of installing components on both nodes + upgrading system databases), but have never tried. That's why I asked.
