Can I install Analysis Services on a live cluster?

  • I need to install analysis services on a Sql Server cluster.  I'd rather not have to stay awake and do it during our maintenance window if I don't have to.  Since this is purely additive, can I do this to a running Sql Server 2005 cluster without stopping the sql server service and interupting my customer connections?

  • One more question while I'm at it.  I've been reading up on this on Microsoft's website and I'm still not sure if I need to install analysis services as a second virtual server, or if it's just a component of the existing virtual server?  I had thought it was a component of the existing virtual server (or at least could be) but when I went to install it it prompted me to setup a new virtual server.  Is this the only way to go, or did I miss the option to just add the analysis services component to my existing virtual server?
