Setting up a node to join the single-node cluster
The new node to join the existing single node running VCS must run the same version of operating system and patch level.
To set up a node to join the single-node cluster
-
Do one of the following:
-
If VCS is not currently running on Node B, proceed to step 2.
-
If the node you plan to add as Node B is currently part of an existing cluster, remove the node from the cluster. After removing the node from the cluster, remove the VCS depots and configuration files.
See Removing a node from a cluster.
-
If the node you plan to add as Node B is also currently a single VCS node, uninstall VCS.
See Removing VCS depots manually.
-
If you renamed the LLT and GAB startup files, remove them.
See Renaming the LLT and GAB startup files.
-
If necessary, install VxVM and VxFS.
See Installing VxVM, VxFS if necessary.
Installing VxVM, VxFS if necessary
If VxVM with the cluster option or VxFS with the cluster option is installed on the existing node in the cluster, then the same versions must also be installed on the new node.
Refer to the appropriate documentation for VxVM and VxFS to verify the versions of the installed products and make sure the same version is running on all nodes that are to use any shared storage.
