SQL Cluster Question

  • We currently have a SQL DB that is built and running. It is connected to several shared storage drives. Can I cluster that SQL DB without having to built a SQL Cluster from scratch and move the data back into it?

    I guess I want to cluster the Server that it is sitting on, and then simply re-run the SQL install disk to "upgrade" to SQL clustering. I am not sure that I am thinking about this correctly, but wanted to ask. Thanks in advance!

  • No, you are not going to be able to do that. What you will need to do is build the cluster, install SQL Server on the cluster and then move your databases.
