The official documentation is available as PDF here (QlikView November 2017).

In principle, adding a new distribution engine to the cluster is installing the software, and then specifying the server name in the QMC > Distribution Services > click on the green "+" icon > add the service URL for the new server there. Then, set it up as you need by selecting it on the left side of the QMC.

However, you mention "SAN patch" and "SSL", which I guess is not the normal download and out of the box setup, I would recommend to engage with Qlik Support (or whoever provided you with that patch) or even a partner or Qlik Consulting so they can help you with your setup.

Thanks for your quick reply. Can you share the same for QV server also?

Appreciate your help.

It's the same guide. Refer to https://help.qlik.com for the latest guides when new versions are released, or if you are not using November 2017.
