Creating the new SQL Server service group

To configure a service group for the upgraded SQL Server version, run the SQL Server Configuration Wizard on the last upgraded node.

For details, refer to the application-specific implementation guide or solutions guide.

Note:

In a disaster recovery (DR) configuration, repeat these steps on the first cluster node at the secondary site and then reconfigure the DR components.

To create the service group for the upgraded SQL Server version

  1. Rename the RegRep directory, if present, on the shared disk.
  2. Create the service group using the SQL Server Configuration Wizard.

    For details, refer to the application-specific implementation guide or solutions guide.

  3. After creating the SQL Server service group, verify the configuration by switching the service group to another node in the cluster.
  4. Delete the RegRep directory that you renamed in the first step.
