Default Move SQL Server Virtual Server Instance to new Server - 10-27-2004 , 11:17 AM







What is the Best Practices way and quickest way to move a SQL Server 2000
Virtual Server database to a new server.

This a production server with numerous users and the server can be down for
only several hours. The server has Windows 2000 Advanced Server with SQL
Server 2000 (Active/Active) Cluster with two nodes and a 400GB database.

We purchased a new HP server.
We would like to install Windows 2003 Server and SQL Server 2000 Virtual
Server on this cluster server.

We would like the new server to have the same server name, IP Addresses, and
database instance name as the old system.

How can we complete this task with minimum down time and with Microsoft Best
Practices.

Thanks,
