    My question is when I am ready to install a new instance (let's call it WebDev), can I use the existing WebProd drive letter and mount some additional volumes or do I have to have a dedicated empty application for each instance I install, thus another drive letter and mount the new volumes under it?

    You can use the same root drive for all of them, however, for management purposes some would choose to create another root drive and letter. It's entirely up to you 😉

    Then I must be doing something wrong. I created 2 new luns, assigned them to WebProd Storage, created the dependencies for the root drive. When I get to the Cluster Resource Group screen in the SQL installation, the WebProd Storage is not available for me to select as a resource.
