  • Once installing second instance, It will be active/active. The installation of second instance is same as the way you installed first instance. If you alrady have default instance installed, the second instance will be the named instance.

  • It's really not very different from creating the initial instance. Make sure you have the name, the IP address, the disk (it'll have to be a separate set of shared disks than what the first instance has). Another key difference is that it'll have to be a named instance because of the way the services work. These are some of the highlights. You can find more info here:

  • Install SQL Server (pretend you are doing a new install). You will get to a window where you can set the instance name. There will be an option for the Default (which should be grayed out) and an option to input a new instance name. That's basically it. The new instance will need a new IP address and if you are using TCP/IP, it will set a new port to listen on.

  • Right. Install the second instance just as you did the first. You'll need the name, the IP address, and the instance name. Read the article cited and you should be in good stead.
