Ok, so everything was working, you reboot the nodes and now nothing is not
working? The cluster service is not started on either node? DHCP did not
start up?

What have you tried? Can you get either node to start the cluster service?
You know not to reboot both at the same time? What does your event log have
to on this matter?

Cheers,

Rod
