(DEPRECATED)-Join an existing cluster using the specified member's IP address or by cluster name
Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the admin privilege level.
Description
|
This command is deprecated and may be removed in a future release of ONTAP. Use cluster add-node from a node in the cluster instead. |
The cluster join command adds a node to an existing cluster. Use the cluster create command to create a cluster if one does not already exist.
Note that a cluster network interface must be configured for the cluster before other nodes can join the cluster.
Parameters
- {
-clusteripaddr <IP Address>- IP Address of a Cluster Interface from a Node in the Cluster -
Use this parameter to specify the IP address of a cluster interface. This must be the IP address of a cluster interface of a node that is already in the cluster. This parameter is mutually exclusive with the
-cluster-nameparameter. - |
-cluster-name <text>- (DEPRECATED)-Cluster Name of the Cluster to Join } -
Deprecated. Use this parameter to specify the name of an existing cluster to join.
[-allow-mixed-version-join <true>]- Allow a Node at a Different Version to Join Cluster-
This parameter allows nodes with different, but compatible versions of ONTAP to join the cluster. A ONTAP best practice is to join nodes to the cluster that are of the same ONTAP version as the nodes in the cluster, but that may not always be possible.
[-node-name <text>]- Name to Use for the Node in the Cluster-
This parameter specifies the name that the node will have when we join it to the cluster.
-cluster-admin-user <text>- Cluster Admin User on the Cluster to Join-
Use this parameter to specify the username of a user with the "admin" role, for example the user "admin".
Examples
The following example joins the local node to a cluster. The IP address 192.0.2.66 is the address of a cluster interface of a node that already belongs to the cluster.
node::> cluster join -clusteripaddr 192.0.2.66
