You can follow this procedure to add grid nodes to existing sites or to add a new site, but you cannot perform both types of expansion at the same time.
Before you begin
- You must have root or maintenance permissions. For details, see information about controlling system access with administration user accounts and groups.
- All existing nodes in the grid must be up and running across all sites.
- Any previous expansion, upgrade, decommissioning, or recovery procedures must be complete.
Note: You are prevented from starting an expansion while another expansion, upgrade, recovery, or active decommission procedure is in progress. However, if necessary, you can pause a decommission procedure to start an expansion.
