Adding appliances to an EVO:RAIL cluster

EVO:RAIL Management revolutionizes scale-out. Increasing compute, network, and storage resources is

as easy as turning on a new appliance to join an existing EVO:RAIL cluster.

Whenever EVO:RAIL detects a new appliance the following message and options are displayed on the

management screen. Click Add EVO:RAIL Appliance.

EVO:RAIL automatically distributes the configuration to seamlessly add new appliances that are

automatically configured and does not require any configuration. To accomplish this, you must provide

the passwords that you created in EVO:RAIL configuration. Other fields on the GUI are disabled if

additional IP addresses are already configured.

NOTE: Only one appliance can be added at a time. To add multiple appliances, turn on one at a

time, ensure that each is properly configured before turning on the next appliance.
