Can Oracle Fail Safe manage Oracle DB in one node first, then only add second node?

 Hi Expert,
We have 1 standalone Oracle DB 10gR2 in Windows Server 2008 R1 Ent x64 OS (Node 1). We want to convert it to a failover cluster using Ms Cluster (Windows Server 2008 R1 Ent 64bit) and Oracle Fail Safe (version 3.4.2 64bit). 

For existing DB server (Node 1), the binary is installed locally and datafiles are in SAN disks. Besides, we have another server (Node 2) which is blank.

Since Node 2 is blank, we plan to:
1) Configure Ms Cluster in Node 2 only
2) Configure Oracle Fail Safe in Node 2 only
3) Install Oracle binary in Node 2
4) Point the SAN disk (which contains datafiles) to Node 2
5) Bring up DB from Node 2 and add the database to Oracle Fail Safe resource group in Node 2

Howdy, Stranger!
