Multiple sql clusters on single windows cluster
Hi,
I have a sql cluster(active/passive) on windows cluster which has two nodes.the current sql cluster we use for testing environment.we would like to install one more sql cluster on same windows cluster for stage environment.
1.Can we have multiple sql clusters(active/passive) on single windows cluster?
2.if it is eligible to install multiple sql clusters on single windows cluster what would be the process to go head with one more cluster installation?
3.what are the merits and demerits if we do so?
