1.1.6 Adding a new node to CF

This section describes how to add a node to an existing CF cluster.

The first step is to make sure that Web-Based Admin View is properly configured on the new node. Refer to "PRIMECLUSTER Web-Based Admin View Operation Guide" for additional details on Web-Based Admin View configuration options.

After you have properly configured Web-Based Admin on the new node, you should start Cluster Admin. If you are already running the Cluster Admin GUI, exit it and then restart it.

The first window that Cluster Admin displays is the small "Figure 1.6 Initial connection pop-up" window. This window lists all of the nodes which are known to Web-Based Admin View. If the new node is not present in this list, then you should recheck your Web-Based Admin configuration and also verify that the new node is up.

To add the new node, select it in the initial connection pop-up. After making your selection, run the CF Wizard by clicking on the Configure button (see "Figure 1.8 CF loaded but not configured") The CF Wizard will appear, and you can use it to join the existing CF cluster.

The CF Wizard will allow you to configure CF, CIM, and CIP on the new node. After it is run, you should configure the Shutdown Facility on the new node.

You will also need to do additional configuration work for other PRIMECLUSTER products you might be using such as the Cluster Resource Manager (CRM), RMS, Global Disk Services (hereinafter GDS),GFS, and so forth.
