Assume that a new node is already added to the cluster at the OS level, to
add that node for SQL2005, you just need to run SQL Setup and select the
cluster maintenance option, and follow the instructions. The steps are
documented in the Books Online
(ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/udb9/html/30e06a7d-75e9-44e2-bca3-b3b0c4a33f61.htm).

You do not use the sa SQL login for this. You'll need to use a domain
account that is local admin on all nodes.

Hi All,
Currently, our Prod databases located in the 3 SQL instances on the 2
physical nodes cluster servers. I need add three new (powerful) nodes to
existing 3 instances. These instances installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise
Edition with Post SP2 (3161) version. For the security purpose, I change the
sa password regularly.
Now, I have two following questions:
1) If I use sa account to add those 3 new nodes, will be any problem occur
since sa password changed?
2) What kind procedures (processes) I can follow to add those new nodes?
Regards!
Chen
