Do we have to go with the default node majority or node and disk majority as we will be adding the second node later? Any complication if we go with node majority first and then change to the other ?Thanks,[/quote]When forming the cluster with the one node it will default to node majority. This is not an issue since if you lose the one node you have no cluster anyway ;-)Once you add the second node you then change the quorum type to match the number of cluster nodes in your cluster config.Sun, 10 Mar 2013 05:30:06 GMTPerry Whittlehttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1422708-1549-1.aspxPerry,One more doubt on the cluster setting?

Perfrom 2nd installation from Node B and then From Node A, add node to SQL failover cluster2nd Approach = Perform both installation fron Node A and then from Node B, add node to SQL failover cluster for both instances.Is there any differences in above approaches. If yes, then which one is best recommended.Regards,ChetanThu, 21 Feb 2013 10:27:04 GMTchetanr.jain
