• awesome! Thank you Perry!

    IS it true that you you cannot share resources, including disk resources, between instances.

    You get one instance per "Service or Application"?

    For a second instance, I would need a new set of Disks, a new network name, and a

    new IP address?

    So basically to add Named Instances after the default Instance is up and runnning in the Cluster, I would have to run BOTH the New SQL Server Failover Cluster Installation setup AND then switch over to the passive node and run the Add Node to a SQL Server Failover Cluster

    Once again, I appoligize for the elementary questions, this will be alot easier once we have the DEV cluster built and can dig in. I am just trying to do some research and planning so I know how many IP addresses we need, how the SAN should be carved out, etc...
