Please Forgive my ignorance as I am

Please Forgive my ignorance as I am new. Anyone know before I invest in the hardware if it is possible to have Two Clusters on the same hardware both in Active/Passive Clustering where Cluster1 and Cluster2 both use the Default SQL Server 2005 Instance (No Named Instances)?

This would be a Virtual Cluster with Two separate 2 node Clusters on the Same Hardware sharing the same OS and SQL.

Hopefully this displays properly:

Clust1 | Clust2

Active/Passive | Active/Passive

OR

Clus11
Active | Pasive
-------------------------------
Passive | Active
Clust2

Thanks in Advance,

Best,

JD

No. This would be an Active/Active cluster and would require that one of the SQL instances would need to be a named instance.
