restore master on new cluster

  • Hello Guys,

    I have this situation: -Two nodes cluster with two instances sql cluster 2012 and I need to move all on the new cluster 2012 with finally the same virtually name and instances.

    It's possible to restore master order to preserve all security?

    Thanks,

    Hadrian

  • I dont think you need a restore as much as you need a migration of security info from master database from one server to another, can you please confirm if your simply just looking to migrate security info or do you want to restore the master database itself.

    If you could explain hy your doing this it might help understand the requirement better.

  • Could you not just add in the new nodes to the existing cluster and evict the two old nodes?

    Depends if the OS on the existing nodes supports this.

    One way if not, would be to run an OS upgrade and then join the new nodes, finally evicting the old upgraded nodes, not even sure it's supported, never tried it, it would be messy to say the least

    Perform a clean migration, you'll have the least number of issues in the long run

  • I strongly do not recommend moving master from one instance to a different one.

    Script out your logins (sp_helprevlogin), your linked servers, your config settings, etc
