Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1 Cluster File System Installation Guide (5900-1510, April 2011)

Note: If you have configured server-based fencing on the existing cluster, make

sure that the CP server does not contain entries for the new node. If the CP server

already contains entries for the new node, remove these entries before adding the

node to the cluster, otherwise the process may fail with an error.

To add the node to an existing cluster using the installer

Run the SFCFS installer with the -addnode option.

# cd /opt/VRTS/install

# ./installsfcfs -addnode

The installer displays the copyright message and the location where it stores

the temporary installation logs.

Enter the name of a node in the existing SFCFS cluster. The installer uses the

node information to identify the existing cluster.

Enter a node name in the SFCFS cluster to which

you want to add a node: galaxy

Review and confirm the cluster information.

Enter the name of the systems that you want to add as new nodes to the

cluster.

Enter the system names separated by spaces

to add to the cluster: saturn

The installer checks the installed products and packages on the nodes and

discovers the network interfaces.

Enter the name of the network interface that you want to configure as the

first private heartbeat link.

Note: The network interface names used for the private interconnects on the

new node must be the same as that of the existing nodes in the cluster. The

LLT configuration for the new node must be the same as that of the existing

cluster.

Enter the NIC for the first private heartbeat
