Shut down IOA cluster on both the nodes.
Remove the IOA cluster that is configured on remote node.
Remove the remote node from the cluster and convert it as a single node cluster.
Change the node to use IPFC by entering the commands node id id nodename and ip-address IPFC
address.
Bring the single node cluster by no-shut.
Add the remote node and its interface.
Verify using show commands.
