We have a SQL Cluster consisting of two nodes with SQL 2005 SP2 installed on Windows Server 2003 using a SAN. This weekend they will be physically relocating the SAN in our computer room so will need to shutdown completely. I'm looking for best practices of how to accomplish this task. Should I logged into each server and shutdown manually? They expected that the move will take at least 3 hours.
In addition of SQL backups, what other type of backup should we perform? This is our first and only cluster server. Any advice or pointer to a white paper is appreciated.:hehe:
