Scenario
You’ve successfully installed and configured a SAN, a Failover Cluster and an instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 on one node. Now you need add another node to this cluster so the SQL Server instance can failover.

- Click OK after the first set of checks:
- Enter a product key or leave it on Evaluation if you’re in a lab like me:
- Accept the license terms:
- Click Install to start the SQL Server setup:
- Click Next after more checks have completed:
- Select the SQL Server instance:
- Enter the passwords for your Domain Service Accounts:
- Select your Error Reporting preference:
- More checks, yay!
- Review your selections and click Install:
- Setup complete:
