Can anybody tell me the differences, advantages or disadvantages in
installing an active/active cluster as

VIRTUAL/INSTANCE1
and
VIRTUAL/INSTANCE2

against

VIRTUAL1
and
VIRTUAL2

We did not seem to get the option to install a second instance on the first
virtual server and so opted for 2 virtual servers with names instance on
each so

VIRTUAL1 / INSTANCE1
and
VIRTUAL2 / INSTANCE2

Many Thanks

Steve

In a cluster, each instance is installed in its own virtual server.
