Moving LUNS

  • We are planning to move LUNS from one server to other server. Do we need to detach the databases before moving the LUNS ? We have this tested without detaching the databases and it worked. But somewhere i am not comfortable to do this process on production server. Which is the best way to do it? We will be taking the disk snapshots before moving the drives after taking the sql server offline.

  • If the path is staying the same, I can't think of a reason why a detach would be needed.

  • will you be using the original instance again?

    Definitely offline SQL so you have a clean shutdown and to avoid any possibility of file corruption. If you are shutting down sql no need to detach databases
