1.
After the storage subsystem is confirmed to be operating normally, power up a single node. Wait for
the node to come completely up before powering up the subsequent node.
If more than one node is powered up at the same time, the first node that completes the sequence
gains ownership of the cluster quorum and controls the cluster database. Designate a particular
node as the usual cluster quorum owner by always powering up that node first and letting it
completely restart before powering up additional cluster node(s).
2.
Power up the additional cluster node(s). Each node should be allowed to start fully, prior to starting
a subsequent node.
As each node starts, the monitor displays the logon dialog. Background processes start the cluster
service and form the cluster.
