There is already a 2008 R2 Instance existing and need to install another instance with different name.

while 2nd instance to get installed, should I stop the server?

what are the other parameters that I should check before and after the installation process.

Could anyone please let me know as I haven't done this before, would be much helpful and this forum has many things answered and thanks to all pioneers.

Database Instance are independent of each other. One's settings does not affect the other

Just pop in the Installation CD and run. It will detect that you already have a default instance installed and prompt for name for new instance

Thanks KH for your direct answers.

could also please tell me is there any other precautions like configuring same as the existing instance (server Parameters).

I need to create the Encryption Key, should I create after the instance is being created?

Thanks once again.

if you are creating the encryption key for the 2nd instance, you have to install the new instance first before you can do that.

Thanks KH once again.

At the end of Instance being created need to create the following:


MASTER KEY;

(comes along with Password, should I select the password as it should generates with alpha-numeric)?

CERTIFICATE;

(name by which the certificate will be known in the database created)

SYMMETRIC KEY;

(associates with Password)

Should I create (above) before the Database creation OR after the creation of the database, as it quite uncertain with the above.

Is there anyway can be UNINSTALL the Instance as well.

Thanks much, again.
