After you have to take a node out of a SQL cluster, what is
the procedure to get it back in the cluster?

The second machine is back up and working on the cluster
with everything except the SQL resources, which makes sense
because you have to install SQL on the cluster after it is
set up.

But how should we go about getting this machine back in the
SQL cluster? Should we just reinstall SQL on the cluster,
or should we uninstall first? Is uninstalling simple on a
cluster?

Is there anything obvious that I'm leaving out that will
cause us headaches?

Thanks in advance,
Shawn

Look up 'Maintaining a Failover Cluster' in BOL. It has step-by-step
instructions on how to replace a failed node in a SQL cluster.
