With SQL Server 2012/2014, what system databases are requried in order for sql sever to start? Of the following system databases:master - contains all system-wide information.msdb - holds information for SQL Server Agent; jobs, operators, alerts, etc.model - template on which all user databases are based.tempdb - holds temporary data.resource - read-only hidden database that contains system objects that are mapped to the sys schema in every database.I have heard the master and model databases are all that is required to start sql server. Is this true?In addition, should these system databases be placed on the local drive of the database server to avoid the issue of not being able to start sql server if the SAN or NW storage is not available?Thanks in advance.
