Hello all,
We have a large SQL server that we would like to virtualize into our datacenter. I attempted to do this over this weekend, but found that it was going to take 4.5 days to complete. I was trying to do this over a 100MB MPLS connection. We're looking at about 3TB of data to migrate. Before I started the conversion, I stopped all of the SQL services. This of course takes our databases down. We cannot be down for 4 days however. I pretty much have 2 days to get this done.
My question is: Can I leave my databases (Sharepoint) up and running while I do the conversion and then schedule the synchronization of changes when I want to move over to the virtual server?
It was my understanding that this would not update the database changes. Is that the case?
Thanks,
T
