I don't have experience in doing this, so hopefully someone else will come along and give their input. &nbsp;But I would assume that if you want the instances to move from node to node together, then they can be installed in one clustered resource pool and therefore a second quorum disk would not be required.

As stated above 2nd quorum disk not required.<br />
<br />
A second instance would require a new group (resources: network name and IP) and disks for the SQL data.<br />
his configuration would allow for &quot;active active&quot; clustering.
