Task 8: Join Node_B to the Cluster

To check the disk signatures:

1.Replace the cluster shared disks with the new hardware:

a.Using the Control Panel Services tool, start the Cluster Service with the -fixquorumstartup option. This option allows you to fix or add a new quorum drive.

b.Start the Cluster Administrator program and attach Node_A to the cluster you are restoring.

c.Create the new disk resource for the quorum drive and place it in the Quorum Group.

Note: For detailed information, refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base article

Q280353, How to Change Quorum Disk Designation.

d.From the Cluster Administrator program:

Rename all of the old shared disks.

Create new resources for the physical disks to match the old shared disks.

Check for dependencies for the physical disk and make the necessary modifications.

e.Create a new group and move all of the old shared disks to this group. (This is done for cleanup purposes.)

Important: You cannot delete the old shared disks until both nodes are running and both nodes are members of the cluster.

2. Using the Control Panel Services tool, set the MSCS service to Automatic startup.

3. Remove any Startup Parameters that may have been previously set. For

6

example, remove -fixquorum.

 

Task 8: Join Node_B to the Cluster

To join Node_B to the cluster:

1.On Node_A, use the Cluster Administrator to evict Node_B from the cluster.

2.Restart Node_B.

3.On Node_B, install the MSCS software and rejoin the cluster.
