    Hi Peery,

    I am using 1 cluster & multiple node. You mean multiple clusters are called active/active?

    Please collaborate this one....

    Thanks & Regards

    Microsoft now prefer the term mutli instance cluster. At a basic level an active\passive cluster would be as follows

    ClusterNode1 ClustSQL-01\INST1 active

    ClusterNode2 ClustSQL-01\INST1 passive

    An active\active or multi instance cluster would be as follows

    ClusterNode1 ClustSQL-01\INST1 active

    ClustSQL-02\INST2 passive

    ClusterNode2 ClustSQL-01\INST1 passive

    ClustSQL-02\INST2 active

    Instances are active across the cluster nodes instead of all running on a single node
