• SQL Clusters require a unique virtual name for each instance so you cannot do:

    SQLName\Instance1

    SQLName\Instance2

    SQLName\Instance3

    You must do:

    SQLName1\Instance1

    SQLName2\Instance2

    SQLName3\Instance3

    I believe this is because the virtual name/IP can only be active on a single node at a time and therefor if you have 3 instances each could be active on a different node.
