HPC Pack 2016 - moving databases

Question

I'm trying to move the HPC databases from the local, on the head-node instance of SQL Server Express to another database server.

I've backed up and moved the five databases, and updated the connections strings in the registry on the head-node. But what do I do about the user account? Do I need to add a service account that all the HPC services will run on and add that to the remote database?

I'm running HPC Pack 2016 Update 3.

Cheers,

Matt

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

After the database movement, grant db_owner role to the following AD accounts for all HPC databases:

1. The head node machine account.
2. The HPC cluster administrator(s)

Hope this helps.
