Hi all,I am in need of upgrading my current SQL instance (servera\inst1) running on 2008 enterprise edition stand-alone to sql 2012 clustered. Could someone pls. provide some guidelines as to how I can complete this process. Basically, it's a 2 node cluster that I am looking at
Here is what comes to my mind.
-- Install and add another node with same configuration
--Join the nodes using Failover cluster manager
--Once the nodes are joined start the upgrade process or am I missing something.
Pls. advise on this.
Regards,
Faisal
What i'm reading is that you wish to add another node and then form a Windows cluster using both. You then want to launch an upgrade process that will upgrade the existing 2008 instance into a clustered 2012 instance, is my reading correct?
