Preparing to add a node to a cluster

Complete the following preparatory steps on the new node before you add the node to an existing SFCFS cluster.

To prepare the new node

  1. Verify that the new node meets installation requirements.

    
    
    # ./installsfcfs -precheck saturn
  2. Install SFCFS on the new system.

    Note:

    Use the -install option to install SFCFS. Do not configure SFCFS after the installation.

    Would you like to configure SFCFS on saturn [y, n, q] (n)

    You can configure the new node later using the configuration from the existing cluster nodes.
