Clustering Installation Question
I have read the Knowledge Base article concerning installation on a cluster, but I still have questions.
I have an active-active cluster with more than one instance on each node. Node_A has Node_A\inst_1 and Node_A\inst_2, while Node_B has Node_B\inst_3 and Node_B\inst_4.
I don't have a problem installing the backup software on each instance, but I want to make sure I am adding the SQL Backup Agent service to the cluster correctly.
Do I add the agent service as a resource to each Node a single time or once for each instance on a node?

In your case, you would need to:
- add the service for inst_1 to the cluster group containing the inst_1 instance
- add the service for inst_2 to the cluster group containing the inst_2 instance
- add the service for inst_3 to the cluster group containing the inst_3 instance
- add the service for inst_4 to the cluster group containing the inst_4 instance
After that, run ProductActivation.exe on the passive node, to activate the SQL Backup license. On the active node, you can run the activation using the GUI.
