    Hello ,

    I need to install sql 2012 named instance on my production server. The server already has a default 2012 instance.

    What are the precautions that i need to take before installing the new named instance and also please guide how should I allocate memory to the new instance.

    PS: the production server is very busy and cannot afford a re-start

    regards

    T

    There are no precautions. Except scheduling a maintenance window for a server restart after the instance install. You can put off the restart, but I believe there will be functionality issues until you restart the server. There's no way to get around it.

    Just install the named instance as needed. Services for the default instance will not be affected. The new instance will have its own services.

    Watch target memory for each server, and try to balance the load. It's up to you to somehow set this between instances.
