SQL server cluster suggestions
Hi All
I have 8 nodes(each 4 one DC and other 4 are differnt DC)... each nodes has sql instance like primary mirroring at one DC it's corresponding node have mirroring in other DC.
we are going to do decomission one of the nodes on each DC..so that node has SQL in it(i,e A node has sql(principle) its corresponding has B node mirror)..even we no need SQL there.
so what would be the proper way to remove the node from cluster and how to deal with SQL and before removing node..
do we need to remove mirroring ,can we do directly remove node from cluster ...how should I ensure proper steps followed and it shouldnt affect other nodes in the cluster.
can someone suggest on this.
SQL 2016 latest sp.
win 2008R2

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
Before you remove the node, you can remove the mirroring first: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/database-mirroring/remove-database-mirroring-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver15Best regards,
