I have just setup MSSQL 2005 in an Active/Passive Cluster mode running on Windows 2003 server. Now i have a request to setup a second Named Instance on the same cluster. I am looking for a document that would outline the procedure which will include the prerequisites.
The thing that I am worried about is that i read somewhere that each instance will need its own shared disks. If this is true , I will need to rearrange my Storage on my SAN which is cumbersome. I am hoping its not soo complicated. I hope I can use the same shared disks.
I also read about having to setup the Alias using Network Configurator ( SQL 2000) else the installation will fail.
To clarify all these doubts and to setup up the 2nd instance correctly, I would be glad if anyone here could direct me to where I could find good documentation to that effect.
Thanks

Could you explain what the purpose of having the second instance is for? Sounds like you should look into Active/Active cluster.
