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.

What you'll need

  • 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.

  2. Deploying new grid nodes

  3. Performing the expansion
