Re: Add a 3rd node to a 2 instance active/active cluster



Not that it matters, but SQL2K or 2K5? I've just been doing this the
past couple of days and have some tips for you if 2K....

But to answer your question - you shouldn't have to take them offline.

I have never configured a cluster before, but I am under the assumption that
when you build a cluster, each nodes should be able to map to the shared
resource drives and due to that, I would have to take the other instances
offline.
