Last Updated: 1 minute read

To avoid any potential issues with your external SQL Server, you must take extra steps when you remove the existing failover configuration:

  1. Back up your existing SQL Server.

  2. Stop Node 1 and Node 2 from the failover web console. See Start, stop, or restart a node

  3. Remove the existing failover cluster configuration from Node 2. See Remove the existing failover cluster configuration.

  4. Stop the VMS services on Node 2 or change the address of SQL Server. See Start or stop a VMS service.

  5. Remove the existing failover cluster configuration from Node 1. See Remove the existing failover cluster configuration.
