# Installing HPE HVM Two-Node Clusters

This topic includes the procedures to deploy and configure a two-node HPE HVM cluster using HPE Morpheus Enterprise Distributed Worker as the external quorum witness. The process involves deploying the worker, registering it with HPE Morpheus Manager, configuring the connection, and creating the cluster. After you complete these procedures, the cluster is ready to support high availability for your workloads.

Ensure that all the following prerequisites are met before you begin:

- The HPE HVM hosts are already installed and their network is configured.
- HPE Morpheus Manager is already deployed.
- The HPE Morpheus Enterprise Distributed Worker package is available on the target machine.
