asked on Migrate SQL 2008 r2 to a new Windows 2012 cluster
What is the best way to migrate a SQL 2008 R2 instance that is hosted on a Windows 2008 R2 Failover cluster to a newer cluster running Windows 2012? Oh, yeah, with as little downtime as possible?

Yes. Mirroring is good too and looks like it was implemented in sql server 2005, so the author can use it.

Since this is going from one Windows Server Failover Cluster to another. What do you think of using the Copy Cluster Roles feature?
Copy Cluster Roles has nothing to do with SQL Server databases.
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.
