I have a SQL 2005 Clustering. Now, I want to add a named instance on it.
Is it possible to add a named instance to a SQL 2005 x64 Standard Edition MS Clustering system ?
If yes, how ? Any web sites ?

Just run your SQL install program again. Note that you will need:

1. Separate disk drives from the first install for the shared disks between the nodes.

2. A separate virtual sql name and IP.

If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!
