The following screen displays. If your snap-in window is similar to that shown above
below, your Cluster Service was successfully installed on the first node. You are now
ready to install Cluster Service on the second node.

Note: 

For this procedure, have node one and all shared disks powered on, then power up the second
node.

Installation of Cluster Service on the second node takes less time than on the first node. Setup
configures the Cluster Service network settings on the second node based on the configuration of
the first node.

Installation of Cluster Service on the second node begins the same way as installation on the first
node. The first node must be running during installation of the second node.

Follow the same procedures used to install Cluster Service on the first node, with the following
differences:

1.  In the Create or Join a Cluster dialog box, select The second or next node in the cluster, then

click Next.

2.  Enter the cluster name that was previously created (it is MyCluster in this example), and click

Next.

3.  Leave Connect to cluster as unchecked. The Cluster Service Configuration Wizard

automatically supplies the name of the user account selected when you installed the first node.
Always use the same account you used when you set up the first cluster node.

4.  Enter the password for the account (if there is one), then click Next.

5.  At the next dialog box, click Finish to complete configuration.

6.  The Cluster Service will start. Click OK.

7.  Close Add/Remove Programs.

If you install additional nodes, repeat these steps to install Cluster Service on all other nodes.
