Hello,
We have a active/passive/active cluster setup with three nodes in SQL Server 2005 EE.Active-node1 has one instance and using disk-group1 with five drive letters (D - Primary data files, E-Secondary data files,
F - Log files, T-Temporary db files K - Backup files). Active-node3 has one instance and using disk-group2 with five drive
letters (G- Primary data files, H-Secondary data files, I- Log files, S-Temporary db files J - Backup files).
Passive-Node2 is the passive node.
We need to install second instance in the Active-Node3. Do we need to create a new disk group with new drive letters
for the second instance? Is it possible to use the existing disk-group2 for the second instance on the cluster
in the Active-node3?
Thanks

Yes, you need to create a new clustergroup with it's own disk(s).
You cannot have multiple instances on the same clustergroup/disk.

Yes you can install one more instace or upto 16 instances and use whateever cluster group you want.Basically Cluster group is considered a group where all the drives are arranged or allocated.
