# Customer intent: "As an SAP system administrator, I want to configure multi-SID high availability for SAP ASCS/SCS using Windows Failover Clustering and Azure shared disks, so that I can ensure continuous availability and fault tolerance for critical SAP workloads."
This article focuses on how to move from a single SAP ASCS/SCS installation to configuration of multiple SAP system IDs (SIDs) by installing additional SAP ASCS/SCS clustered instances into an existing Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) cluster with an Azure shared disk. When you complete this process, you've configured an SAP multi-SID cluster.

For multi-sid configuration of SAP SID, PR2, you could use the same internal load balancer that you have created for SAP SID, PR1 system. For the ENSA1 architecture on Windows, you would need only one virtual IP address for SAP ASCS/SCS. On the other hand, the ENSA2 architecture necessitates two virtual IP addresses - one for SAP ASCS and another for ERS2.
