Explanation

To migrate an existing Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) database to NDB, the recommended Provision a new database server VM and database: Use the NDB interface to provision a new VM and configure an MSSQL database instance on the Nutanix platform. This leverages NDB's automated provisioning capabilities to ensure compatibility with Nutanix infrastructure. Migrate the data: Transfer the data from the existing MSSQL database to the newly provisioned database. This can be achieved using native MSSQL tools (e.g., backup/restore, log shipping, or replication) or NDB's data migration features, such as cloning or restoring from a backup, depending on the source environment.
