Adding a node to the cluster administrative domain
You can add additional nodes to a cluster administrative domain within a high-availability solution.
Before adding a node to a cluster administrative
domain, ensure that node is also part of the cluster in which the
cluster administrative domain resides. If it is not, you cannot add
the node to the cluster administrative domain. The cluster administrative
domain does not have to be active, but the resources will just not
be made consistent until it is active.
When you add a node to the administrative
domain, the MREs from the domain are copied to the node being added.
If the monitored resource does not exist on the new node, it is created
by the cluster administrative domain. If the monitored resource already
exists on the node being added, it is synchronized with the rest of
the cluster administrative domain if the domain is active. That is,
the values of the attributes for each monitored resource on the node
that is joining are changed to match the global values for the monitored
resources in the active domain.
