Hi,

Should Database, Agent and other Services related to SQL Server Instance be in Automatic startup mode or Manual on Cluster?

Thanks

Manual only. The Cluster Manager takes over the service administration for SQL Server. Anything that appears as a cluster resource in the Services and Applications screen of the Failover Cluster Manager should be Manual startup.

Just to be clear, Browser will be automatic as it's not a clustered resource.
