Move database from a cluster server
You can use the Administration Process to move a database from a cluster server to another server by choosing Database - Move from the tools pane. This request creates a replica of the original database on another server.

When you create replicas on cluster mates for either the Move Replica or Create Replica process, the Administration Process assumes that Connection documents are in place to schedule replication between the source and destination servers.

Note The "Maintain Trends database record" request is executed as part of a database move initiated due to resource balancing initiated by the Activity Trends tool.
