Adding a node to a one-node functional cluster

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi everybody,

due to a busy server (the 2nd node), I couldn't install the two nodes in
one step, and I was forced to install a cluster with one node, and bring it
online with the production database. Now everything works fine (in one node
of course) and I'd like to install the second node. I've just installed
windows 2003 sp1 in the 2nd node server, but i'm not sure the correct steps
to add a second node with the first one in production.

If you have any information, I'll really apreciate it.

Thanks

Patrick.
