The SQL Server failover cluster instance name 'INST3' already exists as a clustered resource. Specify a different failover cluster instance name.

I got the below mentioned error while installing sql server 2008 failover cluster.


The SQL Server failover cluster instance name 'INST3' already exists as a clustered resource. Specify a different failover cluster instance name.


Resolution


1) Run Cluster Res in the command prompt. Get the orphaned resource from  
    the  list.
2) Delete the orphaned user using the below command.
        cluster RES "<Resource Name>" /Delete
3) Continue the installation after this.
