Adding node back after hardware failure.

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.

Adding comments to TEXT field...

Newbie question:

Aside from the single quote (i.e. chr(39)) what other characters can cause
MS-SQL
server to cough-up the insertion / update back in your face?

None, what I can think of. Well if you use the double " as delimiter,
then this is the odd one out. But you can only use " with certain
settings.

Anyway, to include the string delimiter in the string, you double it:

SELECT 'Three o''clock'
