To add the node to an existing Storage Foundation cluster using the Storage Foundation installer

1. Log in as the root user on one of the nodes of the existing cluster.

2. Run the Storage Foundation installer with the -addnode option.

   # cd /opt/VRTS/install

   # ./installsf -addnode

   The installer displays the copyright message and the location where it stores the temporary installation logs.

3. Enter the name of a node in the existing Storage Foundation cluster. The installer uses the node information to identify the existing cluster.

   Enter a node name in the Storage Foundation cluster to which 
   you want to add a node: galaxy

4. Review and confirm the cluster information.

5. 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.

6. 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 
   link on saturn: [b,q,?] bge1

7. Enter y to configure a second private heartbeat link.

   Note:

   At least two private heartbeat links must be configured for high availability of the cluster.

   Would you like to configure a second private 
   heartbeat link? [y,n,q,b,?] (y)

8. Enter the name of the network interface that you want to configure as the second private heartbeat link.

   Enter the NIC for the second private heartbeat link 
   on saturn: [b,q,?] bge2

9. Depending on the number of LLT links configured in the existing cluster, configure additional private heartbeat links for the new node.

   The installer verifies the network interface settings and displays the information.

10. Review and confirm the information.

11. If you have configured SMTP, SNMP, or the global cluster option in the existing cluster, you are prompted for the NIC information for the new node.

    Enter the NIC for VCS to use on saturn: bge3

12. If the existing cluster uses server-based fencing in secure mode, provide responses to the following installer prompts.

    If you are using different root brokers for the CP server and the client Storage Foundation cluster, enter y to confirm the use of different root brokers. The installer attempts to establish trust between the new node being added to the cluster and the authentication broker of the CP server.

    Are you using different Root Brokers for the CP Server(s) and the 
    client cluster? (If so then installer will try to establish trust 
    between the new node(s) being added and CP Server's 
    Authentication Broker) [y,n,q] (n) y

    Enter the host name of the authentication broker used for any one of the CP servers.

    Enter hostname of the Authentication Broker being used for any one 
    of the CP Server(s): [b] mycps1.symantecexample.com

    Enter the port number where the authentication broker for the CP server listens to establish trust with the new node:

    Enter the port where the Authentication Broker 
    mycps1.symantecexample.com for the CP Server(s) is listening 
    for establishing trust: [b] (2821)

13. The installer starts the SF HA cluster processes on the new node. The new node is now part of the cluster.
