sql server clustering : Moving databases to a cluster

What is the best method for moving databases from one
server onto a clustered setup? Obviously you can use
backup/restore or detach/reattach. What I really need to
know is what steps you have to do after this. There must
be security problems with the new database. ie how do you
ensure security etc is carried over to cluster servers
from original server esp with login info living in master

Thanks - I know that.
But I have been told that there are a number of security
issues that you have to deal with after you have moved the
databases over. Are you aware of these.

Moving data to SQL Cluster or a Stand Alone SQL server, is the same process.
Data Transformation Services will also work. A SQL Cluster is still a SQL
box.

Depending on how your move a database, you may or may not get the SQL logins
to come across. The Books online are excellent in regards to moving/copying
a database.

Look at the stored procedure sp_change_users_login on BOL. That is the
procedure to fix mismatched User-Login combinations.

The following Microsoft Knowledge Base article will help you meet your objective

HOW TO: Move Databases Between Computers That Are Running SQL Server
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314546

This KB has a lot of information and has links to other related KBs that you may find useful.

As Rod said, moving dbs to clustered SQL Server should not be any different from moving it to standalone SQL Server. If you have never done it, its better that you do this in a test environment and then do it on
productions.
