| Upgrading works fine, however I prefer a clean start as I think side-by-side installations are much, much safer. We can't afford the upgrade downtime nor the time it would take to troubleshoot if things don't go well.I don't have a link to provide for an install from scratch as I'm not a Windows administrator, but what I can say is that our server admins go to a week of training for things like this. This isn't something you just pickup in one link. Clusters are complex beings.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog |
