Hi All...

I'm looking for a good How2 doc on adding a second sql node to an already configured 1-node cluster (SQL2k_ENT/WIN2003). The second node is already in the cluster - I just have to get SQL on it without blowing up the first install (node1) and set it as the passive node for an active/passive configuration. Is SQL2k cluster-aware enough to just allow me the run the install from the virtual server for the node2? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

This is what I have used:
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3467291

That article assumes you had a cluster already and one of the nodes failed and had to be reimaged. Just pretend you are at the point after the reimage.
