To add nodes using response files

1. Make sure the systems where you want to add nodes meet the requirements.
2. Make sure all the tasks required for preparing to add a node to an existing VCS cluster are completed.
3. Copy the response file to one of the systems where you want to add nodes.

   See Sample response file for adding a node to a VCS cluster.

4. Edit the values of the response file variables as necessary.

   See Response file variables to add a node to a VCS cluster.

5. Mount the product disc and navigate to the folder that contains the installation program.
6. Start adding nodes from the system to which you copied the response file. For example:

   # ./installer -responsefile /tmp/response_file

   Where /tmp/response_file is the response file's full path name.

   Depending on the fencing configuration in the existing cluster, the installer configures fencing on the new node. The installer then starts all the required processes and joins the new node to cluster. The installer indicates the location of the log file and summary file with details of the actions performed.
