Create an additional cluster node
After you answer questions and provide information about your environment, the wizard generates a custom configuration procedure. The following set of steps represents all possible configuration steps. The instructions that you generate might include or exclude specific steps based on your wizard selections.
After you create a static or dynamic cluster, we can create an additional horizontal cluster node to handle failover requests. When creating an additional horizontal cluster node on another server, run the Configuration Wizard from that server.
