Hi MrFlinstone,

As discussed in this similar thread, it seems to be an known issue when adding a second node in a SQL Server failover cluster using option Integration Installation with Add Node .

To work around this issue, you can use the Advanced/Enterprise installation option to install SQL Server failover cluster. SQL Server Advanced/Enterprise failover cluster installation consists of the following steps:

On each node that is a possible owner of the new SQL Server failover cluster, follow the Prepare Failover Cluster setup steps that are listed in the Prepare section. After running the Prepare Failover Cluster on one node, Setup creates the Configuration.ini file that lists all the settings that you specified. On the additional nodes to be prepared, you can supply the auto-generated Configuration.ini file from first node as an input to the Setup command line.

After the nodes are prepared for clustering, run Setup on one of the prepared nodes. This step configures and finishes the failover cluster instance.
