- Use Azure Migrate: Server Migration Tool: This tool helps you to migrate each node in the failover cluster instance to an Azure VM hosting SQL Server, as well as the cluster and FCI metadata. It uses an agent-based migration approach, treating any server or virtual machine as a physical server, similar to the agent-based disaster recovery in the Azure Site Recovery service 1.
- Reconfigure SQL Failover Cluster with Azure Shared Disks: After migration, you may need to reconfigure the SQL failover cluster to use Azure shared disks, which support the cluster and FCI metadata necessary for the SQL databases to function correctly in Azure .
