Hi,
For migration purpose I need to stop sql server services in a cluster. I don't want to failover the cluster I just want to stop the sql server services before the windows system admin shutdowns the windows server and later start again once migration is done. This is clone migration so I don't have to do anything except stopping and starting the services of sql. I found two places there to take service offline and online, one is just clicking the services and application and in the right hand side directly right clicking the instance and take service offline, another is expanding the instance and taking offline agent and sql server service one by one.
I don't know which is the way.
Please some one help me.
