Adding A Node To A Single-Node Cluster - Symantec Veritas Cluster Server Installation Manual

Adding a node to a single-node cluster

All nodes in the new cluster must run the same version of VCS. The example
procedure refers to the existing single-node VCS node as Node A. The node that
is to join Node A to form a multiple-node cluster is Node B.
Table 8-3 specifies the activities that you need to perform to add nodes to a
single-node cluster.
