6. Add your second server and add it to the farm

a. Click the "ADD A SERVER" link at the top of the page
b. Add a server (hard drive size must be identical with the server from step 2)
c. Click on "View ServerXXX details" for the new server
d. Click on the "Edit" link
e. Change the servers name (farmserver2) and "Save"
f. Click the "LOAD BALANCING" link at the top of the page
g. Add the server to your webfarm and click "add now"
h. Click on the "SERVERS" link
i. Click on the second server (farmserver2)
j. Click on the "Imaging" link and select "Restore Image To Disk"
k. Select the image you want to copy over (farmserver1) from the drop down box and click "Begin and Power Cycle". For windows servers we recommend you click on the "Manual reboot and begin" button. You will then need to login to the server and manually reboot it. Imaging may fail if Windows is not shut down gracefully (like power cycle)
l. Wait for the imaging process to finish. When it does, the server state (visible on the SERVERS page) will change from "Restoring Harddrive Image" back to "Active".
