I was just recently assigned to a project where we need to migrate large database servers from SQL server 2008 R2 – 32 bit to SQL server 2014 – 64 bit
First thing we need to do is install SQL server 2014 on the new servers. Here is a step by step installation guide.
Open SQL Server Installation Center
Click on the installation option
Select New SQL Server stand-alone
Enter the product key, click on Next
Click on I accept the license terms check box, then click next
Select the option “Use Microsoft Update to check for Update (recommended) “, then click next
MS SQL server will check all the installation requirements to verify that your server is properly configured to run SQL server, you won’t be able to continue until all rules are marked as passed. If you get a warning like the one listed above, click on the link for more information. It is recommended to resolve all warnings before clicking the next button.
Select the option “Select Server Feature Installation “, then click next
Select the options that you need . Click Next
Select Named Instance option and enter the server name on the named instance and the instance id . Click Next
Leave all default values. Click Next
Here you can select the authentication mode for the SQL server. If you select Mixed mode, you can enter the sa account password – Don’t forget to write it down!
You can leave the default paths or select different drives per file types. You need to make sure you have enough space to hold your databases. Click Next
If all rules pass, then click Next, otherwise click on the status link for more information
Click on install
If everything was successful you should see this screen.
