Hi all,
Newbi to sql clustering.

I have a sql server 2005 standard edition with Active/Passive Cluster in production.

I have a new requirement where i need to create a new instance on this active/passive cluster that can be used by our sharepoint servers. Can somebody please let me know what are the steps that i need to follow like

1.What i need to ask my network admin?
2.How i need to proceed installing?
I am planing to do this over the weekend where i have the liberty of some down time.
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks

1. Virtual server name for the instance, IP address for it, drives setup in Cluster admin, 3 AD groups for security
2. Just launch the installer, it'll recognize it's a cluster so that option will no longer be grayed out.
