  2. Start MarkLogic Server.

  3. Access the Admin Interface on the host in which you want to add to the cluster and accept the license agreement.

  4. After the server restarts, you will be prompted to join a cluster.

  5. Enter the DNS name or the IP address of one of the machines in the cluster. For example, if this is the second host you are installing, you can enter the DNS name of the first host you installed.

  7. Select a Group to assign this host. Click OK.

  8. Click OK to confirm that you are joining the cluster.

  9. Click OK for the confirmation message that indicates that you have joined the cluster.
