Hi,
we have recently purchased SQL 2014 std edition with SA (VLSC), one of our guy downloaded SQL 2012 instead of 2014 by mistake and installed as failover cluster. I wanted to ask whether should I upgrade to SQL 2014 or uninstall SQL 2012 and install 2014 fresh.
In 2014, secondary server used for failover support does not need to be separately licensed for sql server as long as it is truly passive and primary SQL server is covered with active SA.
We have installed 2012 in other fashion, 4 cores on primary and 4 cores on secondary, now we just want to assign 8 cores to primary and 8 to secondary to get 2014 benefit. Is it possible using upgrade or a fresh install is required.
I Appreciate inputs from experts.
