CAD SQL Instance Name match

[malhaque]

Looking for clarification on CAD installation with SQL Data Store. The CAD Installation Guide states "It is required that your system include a separate SQL Server instance that hosts the CAD base services (on both servers in a replicated system). This is under the Configuring Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for CAD section.

Do the SQL instance name for the side A and B servers need to match ? I believe the answer is yes but want to make sure.

Yes, use the same name.  A few steps down there is the statement:

"NOTE: It is recommended that you name the SQL instance that CAD will use CADSQL. Although, you can name this SQL instance anything you would like, the directions for this guide are written for use with CADSQL. You might have to deviate from these instructions if you do not use the name CADSQL."
