have the installation DVD, follow the procedure in

Expanding an Unpatched System
Follow the instructions in this section to expand an unpatched system.
To expand an unpatched single-server system into a two-server cluster 
1 Unpack, inspect, and physically install the second server as described in its Getting Started Guide. 
Mount it in the rack adjacent to the first Polycom RealPresence DMA system server (or close 
enough to connect them with an Ethernet cable). 
2 Log into your Polycom RealPresence DMA system, go to Admin >Local Cluster > Network 
Settings, change System server configuration to 2 server configuration, and add the Server 2 
host name(s) and IP address(es) for the second server. See 
The first server (Server 1) reboots. 
3 Connect the second server to the network: 
a Connect the GB 1 Ethernet port of the new server to the enterprise network. 
b Use an Ethernet cable to connect the GB2 ports of the two servers. 
4 Confirm that the first server is running and displays DMA Ready. Then turn on the second server, 
insert the installation DVD, and reboot it. 
The server boots from the DVD, and the installation commences. About 15-20 minutes later, the DVD 
ejects and the server reboots. It detects the presence of Server 1, gets its configuration settings from 
it, and joins the cluster. When done, both servers’ LCDs display DMA Clustered. 
5 Log into the system, go to Admin >Local Cluster > Licenses, and follow the procedure for 
obtaining and entering a license activation key. See 
. 
6 On the Dashboard, check the License Status, Supercluster Status, and Cluster Info panes to 
verify that you now have a properly configured two-server cluster.

 and write it to a blank, writable DVD. A valid software license key is required to 
access the DVD image file.
Caution: Allow first server to start fully
The first server must be running properly before you turn on the second server.
