Thank you guys. I still have a a little bit question about installation.
1. If I install active/active, I need to install extra times for sql server
installation in order to install other instances, just like stand alone
server to install named instance, right?
2. I don't need to configue which one is primary server and which one is
failover server when configure active/active cluster, right?

thanks.

Hi,
I am learning sql server failed over cluster and I got confused that
what
is
difference between active/passive and active/active when you install sql
server 2005 in cluster server. I read the installation of sql server
2005,
I
didn't find where do we need to indicate that. Could somebody give me
tips
how to do that?

Active/Passive is where one node hosts a virtual server (or more than one)
while the other node is just a hot standby waiting for failure of the
first
node.

Active/Active is where both nodes are hosting virtual servers. For
example,
Node1 will run one or more instances of SQL and Node2 will run one or more
instances of SQL.
