if you run one server and you have no cluster master created on the first server:

1. install the second server and make the master: pveca -c
2. join the first server to this master: pveca -a -h IP_SERVER2

check all templates and ISO - as these are synced from the master to the nodes, means you need to upload them again.

another way:

1. promote the first server to the master: pveca -c
2. join the second (pveca -a -h IP_SERVER1
3. wait for the sync of all templates and ISO
4. force the node to be the new master: pveca -m
5. tell the old master to sync from the new master: pveca -s -h IP_SERVER2

for all infos, see the man pages:

man pveca
