    I have a SQL 2008 R2 Cluster name of say SQLCluster1 on NodeA with an instance name of Instance1 ie. SQLCluster1\Instance1. I also want to install another instance called Instance2 on NodeA/SQLCluster1 ie. SQLCluster1\Instance2.

    Is this possible?

    Thanks

    Steve

    No, each clustered instance requires a virtual network name that is unique in the domain and should conform to standard Windows network name standards, including number of chars and excluded chars.
