We have a VM'd vCenter on W2k3 32bit. We are going to go to vcenter 4.1 on a new 2008 R2 VM and move our DB to a new SQL server.
The KB article on the move servers says to migrate the DB using the vendors tools, our is SQL2005 32-bit to a SQL2005-64 bit machine.
Server Move KB.
So I will stop the service and my DBA just wants to copy the files log and DB to the new server and see if that works. He says the migration may take to long. I don't know I'm not the DBA. :smileyhappy:
Has anyone done it this way with just coping the DB files over and then opening the new DSN over on the new server?
Thanks in advance.
