    Hi all,

    I have a SQL Server cluster with 2 nodes and 5 instances of SQL Server 2008R2.

    Is it possible to add instances of SQL Server 2012 to the same Cluster?

    Have been googling and I find a lot about upgrading the existing 2008R2 instances to SQL Server 2012 but that's not what I want.

    Any ideas whether this is possible?

    thanks.

    Kind Regards,

    Vera

    Windows 2008 R2 is a suitable platform for SQL Server 2012, my preference would be to run it Windows 2012 if possible.
