SQL Server Forum / Other Technologies / Clustering / May 2006SQL Cluster Server setup Issue
Hi, I'm trying to setup a SQL cluster server on a Active/Passive Server. I get to the prompt where I select the Instance Name. I want to use the default installation however the the Default checkbox is disabled (greyed out). I am forced to select a new instance name which I dont want. How can I use the default installation? Any ideas? Thanks, Kevin. You may have another instance somewhere in the cluster - either a virtual instance or a local one on one of the nodes.

You only need the virtual instance. I'd remove those two local instances - unless you have some specific need for them. When you go to install the virtual instance, the binaries are placed onto the local disks of both nodes by the setup process, so you do only one install. The data files go on the shared disks.

Ill give it a go. Thanks for your help. Regards, Kevin. > You only need the virtual instance.
