  • In Failover Cluster Management, move the cluster resources to the second node.
  • Make sure that the shared volumes, when accessed on the second node, have the corresponding drive letters or mount points that they had when accessed from the first node.
  • If you are installing a database, you may need to stop the database service on the first node while the shared disks are being manipulated by the installation on the second node. Then restart the service after the application is installed.
