running sql 2012 and sql 2008 on same server

  • Hi,

    our client to want to install both csql 2008 and sql 2012 on same windows cluster.

    IS It possibility of running SQL 2008 and SQL 2012 on the same windows cluster ?

    Is it recommaned tohave both version on same servers.

    Kindly confirm the pre-requests that supports both such as

    OS,

    Ram,

    disk

    MSDTC

    etc.....

  • I have SQL 2008 and SQL 2012 on same machine, and both are working fine.

  • We have already implemented that is running with no issue. We chose beefy boxes as part of our consolidation project.

    4 node cluster (3 with 08r2 and 1 with 2012)

    As far as what resources would you need:

    1) you will have to evaluate / gather matrixes and determine what is required to support what is will reside on either 08 / 2012

    2) it took us about 2 months to gather data and analyze before making the HW request.
