A slight confusion. I have created a windows cluster with 2 nodes and a
single instance of SQL 2K cluster

Is it possible to create many windows clusters? I was looking at the Cluster
Admin and there is an option to create a new cluster ... Why would one want
to do that especially with only 2 nodes ? Please let me know. Using windows
2003

One server can only be an active participant in one cluster at a time, but
the cluster administrator tool can be used to manage (and create) all
clusters in your environment. You can have as many clusters in your
environment as you'd like...obviously this is limited to the amount of
hardware that you own.

So, you don't need to run cluster administrator on the nodes that you are
using to form your cluster...it can be run on any host that has the utility
installed (all W2K3 Ent Servers).

John
