SQL 2012 Cluster Multiple Instances Procedure !

  • Hello,

    Kindly help me if I need different sources for each instance or can I use the same for all the instances I want to install like, SAN Driver, IP Address, Service Account?

    Kindly give me the detailed procedure to follow as in Best Practise.

    Regards !

  • As per my understanding of your question, you need information on building and configuring a Multiple Instance cluster.

    The cluster can have multiple instances installed and for good performance, it is important to run instances on different physical nodes. So if you have Instance A and B then run instance A on node1 and InstanceB on node2. So that they can use each node resources.

    Also, every instance on cluster will have their own IP address and dedicated SAN drives.

    The SQL services can run with the common account, that is not a problem.

    Each instance you install will have its own resources such as storage, IP and virtual networkname. I would also use dedicated service accounts for each service too. A SQL Server 2012 cluster deployment is not a great deal different to 2008 R2 so this guide should be helpful
