How do you restore the master database on a SQL Server cluster?

Restoring a master database on a SQL server cluster is required in case of a disaster when the previous backup is required. Ideally, restarting the server in single user mode can resolve this problem, however, not when the server is readily available. In scenarios like this, following steps can be followed:

• The node on which the SQL server is running should be identified.
• ALL the SQL server resources should be off-line using the cluster Admin.
• Using the SQL server node above, from the command prompt, the following statement can be executed to start the server: sqlservr.exe -c –m
• Query analyzer can be used to restore the master database.
• The SQL server can now be quit from command prompt and the server services can be restarted using the Cluster admin.
