Hi,
Recently I have come across new requirement in my organisation. My client wants one more instance on existing 2 node Active- Passive SQL Server 2008 R2 cluster and OS is Windows 2008 Enterprise R2 edition. Could you please let me know pre-requisities and any important article which will guide with the installation procedure. I have gone through in this forum and I found that following are requirements, but I need complete clarification on this as I need to explain to my client.
New instance needs
* Dedicated IP address or SQL
* Dedicated ip address for msdtc
* Dedicated Virtual Name for SQL instance
* Dedicated Shared disks for Data and root directories
* Dedicated shared disk for msdtc

Its the same as your primary cluster.
I would however recommend using the current passive node as the active node for your second cluster.
