Re: upgrading sql2k cluster to sql2005

The safest method would be to install a separate virtual instance of SQL
Server 2005 and migrate DB's to it. You can test it out a lot before you do
the formal cutover. Once you've cut over, then deinstall SQL 2000 and
reclaim its disk resources.

Hi,

We are running portal server front end (3 servers) and sql2k clustered
(active/passive) as the back end. We would like to upgrade to sql2005. Any
suggestions on the best method?

thanks,
Gregg
