Clustered SQL2K5 instances on cluster with SQL2K instances

    1. We're running multiple SQL2K instances on a W2K3 cluster.

    2. We want to build a new SQL2K5 instance (clustered) on the same cluster where our SQL2K instances reside.

    Is this possible?

    I've seen literature stating that SQL2K and SQL2K5 can indeed coexist on the same machine, but have seen nothing regarding clusters.  Are there any potential problems running mixed instances on a cluster?  Has anyone successfully created a SQL2K5 instance on a SQL2K cluster?

    Thanks in advance for your feedback.

    Have you had any problems with MDAC?  Our service provider is saying that MDAC becomes a problem with the multiple versions.

    Thanks for the reply!

    I hope those problem with MDAC are sorted out with SP1.
