I have a Compaq DL380 G2 package cluster.
Prior to the Hurricane (scare) for the Houston area, all servers and the
cluster were shutdown/powered down.
I am looking for the proper shutdown/powerup procedure for the cluster.
We had a hard time getting the cluster to be recognized by the server.

Make sure your Domain Controllers and network switches are up and running
before powering up the cluster. The disk array starts first, then one host
node. Take all resource roups except the quorum group offline after the
first node is up. Bring up the second node only after the first node is
operational . Make sure the disk resources and IP addresses shift
correctly, then bring the resource groups online on the corret hosts.
