Hi Guys,
.I have a very old sql server instance. Running Sql server 2008 on Windows server 2008.
Wanted to confirm if the windows cluster is broken (purpose is to do X2V) (note: it has sql server active-active, active-passive setup), can sql server be ever available as a standalone instance ?
I did research but it says the same thing that it is not possible.
But need your opinion on this.
Thanks.

Somewhat confusing: "has ... active-active, active-passive setup". Huh, can't be both at the same time, which is it?
If A-P, I know we've undone/removed clustering and it worked fine, so overall my answer has to be Yes. I would think the same would be true of A-A, you could still run nodes separately.

Hi Scott,
So you are saying that for existing Active - Passtive configuration if the cluster is broken SQL Server (actually in the same cluster there are two AP instances runnng) wll be available and running as a standalone machine in each node (as it has 2 sql sevices running in each node)?
Is that what you are saying?
Thanks.

I don't know about "broken", but if you "uncluster" it normally, it runs fine.
And, yes, then you have two servers each running a single, separate, independent instance.
