Hi,
Is anyone running multiple instances in a clustered environment on windows 2000?
I am looking at consolidating a number of small databases onto an exisiting sql2000 clustered instance using a HP EVA SAN. At this stage i am looking to add an additional 1-3 instances.
Are there any 'Real world' gotchas to be aware of?
Understand that each instance needs its own disks, specifically its own LUN.
Just found a great book called "Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Availability"
that is good reading.
Regards, Brian

We have Active\Active clusters in inventory. The main catch is to plan to hardware to handle the memory requirements should all instances fail to 1 node. Enough processing power, etc. especially if you're going into AWE memory. In that case there are a few whitepapers and KB articles that deal with this subject because there are some planning steps you'll need to take care of.
