Except for the actual installation process, all cluster nodes in SQL 2000
are equivalent. During the installation, you run the install app from the
node that currently hosts the disk resource you intend to base the SQL
instance on. You can set the allowed and preferred hosts for each SQL
resource group independently after installation. Be sure to test running
with both instances on one node because that is what will happen during a
failure.
