Prerequisites for Attach and Detach Operation

Before you begin mounting or unmounting a virtual copy, verify the following prerequisites for an
attach operation to complete:

The SQL server must be in healthy state for attach operation

The disk residing on the database must be online and visible

The original database must be online for the attach operation to succeed

The name of target server and the SQL server must be same for attach operation to succeed

The secondary database files (.mdf), as a part of original database, are also available in the
attached database

The Instance is not running on a clustered disk because attaching a database to it cannot
succeed

NOTE:

You cannot attach a data onto a cluster SQL instance because the data is on a separate

disk.
