Description

Resolution:
The installer is always invoked as a new installation. For a new installation, the installation policy "Install files only" is not provided as an option. For a slave node installation, choose the installation policy "Install schema and files". After entering the database details for the existing node, the Installer detects the existence of the iProcess database. 

WARNING: iPE Tables already exist for user

The installer next detects this server can be added as a slave, as it does not exist on the node_cluster table.

This machine ($IPEI_HOSTNAME) is not in the NODE_CLUSTER table.
Do you want to install it as another machine in this cluster? 

When choosing 'Yes' in the above prompt, the installation process has now detected this as a slave node installation.
