Configuring server-based fencing on the new node

This section describes the procedures to configure server-based fencing on a new node. Depending on whether server-based fencing is configured in secure or non-secure mode on the existing cluster, perform the tasks in one of the following procedures:

To configure server-based fencing in non-secure mode on the new node

  1. Log in to each CP server as the root user.
  2. Update each CP server configuration with the new node information:
    # cpsadm -s mycps1.symantecexample.com \
    -a add_node -c clus1 -h saturn -n2
    
    Node 2 (saturn) successfully added
  3. Verify that the new node is added to the CP server configuration:
    # cpsadm -s mycps1.symantecexample.com \
    -a list_nodes

    The new node must be listed in the command output.

  4. Add the VCS user cpsclient@saturn to each CP server:
    # cpsadm -s mycps1.symantecexample.com \
    -a add_user -e cpsclient@saturn \
    -f cps_operator -g vx
    
    User cpsclient@saturn successfully added

To configure server-based fencing with security on the new node

  1. Log in to each CP server as the root user.
  2. Update each CP server configuration with the new node information:
    # cpsadm -s mycps1.symantecexample.com \
    -a add_node -c clus1 -h saturn -n2
    
    Node 2 (saturn) successfully added
  3. Verify that the new node is added to the CP server configuration:
    # cpsadm -s mycps1.symantecexample.com -a list_nodes

    The new node must be listed in the output.
