Install FailSafe 2.1.3 on <DEFAULT_HOME> (Server and Manager components). (Node 1) 8. Install FailSafe 2.1.3.1 patch on <DEFAULT_HOME> (Node 1) 9. Reboot Node 1 10. Install FailSafe 2.1.3 on <DEFAULT_HOME> (Server and Manager components). (Node 2) 11. Install FailSafe 2.1.3.1 patch on <DEFAULT_HOME> (Node 2) 12. Reboot Node 2 13. Ping the Cluster Alias and each node's hostname(you could see all the names in the MSCS Administrator), if all reply then proceed. If not then ask the System Administrator to check the problem. The public IP should come first when pinging each node!
