I have an environment with three SQL instances running an application. Two of the instances are enterprise edition and one is standard. I am looking to move all instances up to SQL Server 2012 and hoping to put them on a 3 node Windows Failover Cluster. I understand that standard edition is limited to two nodes. What I want to know is what my options are?
Can install standard edition on the cluster but only on two of the three nodes?
Do I need to create a second Windows Cluster? Is this even possible?
