Hi,
We recently moved to a new DR system which allows us to spin up our SQL servers in a private cloud. As such when the server is restored it doesn't have access to cluster disks etc., the disks are restored as local disks and cluster networks don't exist.
We use a SQL cluster in active/passive mode. When the SQL server is restored the cluster won't start, I'm not at all surprised at that. But I'd like to start the SQL services separately, as a stand alone server without having to get the cluster working. Is this even possible? Or is it possible to destroy the cluster and continue using SQL afterwards?
Thanks,
Dave
