What is the right procedure to start an instance of a clustered Active/Active Sql Server
The online-book unspecifically writes

From a command prompt, enter:
sqlservr.exe -c -

But some KB Technet articles say do start/stop SQL instance only from cluster administrator
So how to do it

Thanks

For normal operating procedures the proper method is to start from the
Cluster Administator.

Starting from the command prompt with sqlservr.exe -c -m is a trouble
shooting technique. It starts SQL Server as an application in single user
mode and as such would be pretty useless in a production environment.

Ok but if I have to restore the master db of the clustered sql server instanc
I have to start the instance in single-user mode so can I start from command promp
without any fear or problem
