b. In the Management IP Address field, enter a management IP address for the compute node that is
within the management network subnet.
c. In the vMotion IP Address field, enter a vMotion IP address for the compute node that is within the
vMotion network subnet.
d. In the iSCSI A - IP Address field, enter an IP address for the first iSCSI port of the compute node that is
within the iSCSI network subnet.
e. In the iSCSI B - IP Address field, enter an IP address for the second iSCSI port of the compute node
that is within the iSCSI network subnet.
16. Select Continue.
17. On the Review page in the Network Settings section, the new node is shown in bold text. If you need to
make changes to the information in any section, perform the following steps:
a. Select Edit for that section.
b. When finished making changes, click Continue on any subsequent pages to return to the Review page.
18. Optional: If you do not want to send cluster statistics and support information to NetApp-hosted SolidFire
Active IQ servers, clear the final checkbox.
This disables real-time health and diagnostic monitoring for NetApp HCI. Disabling this feature removes the
ability for NetApp to proactively support and monitor NetApp HCI to detect and resolve problems before
production is affected.
19.
Select Add Nodes.
You can monitor the progress while NetApp HCI adds and configures the resources.
20. Optional: Verify that the new compute node is visible in vCenter.
NetApp HCI 1.4 P2, 1.4, and 1.3
If your NetApp HCI installation runs version 1.4P2, 1.4, or 1.3, you can use the NetApp Deployment Engine to
add the node to the cluster.
What you’ll need
• Ensure that the vSphere instance NetApp HCI is using has vSphere Enterprise Plus licensing if you are
expanding a deployment with Virtual Distributed Switches.
• Ensure that none of the vCenter or vSphere instances in use with NetApp HCI have expired licenses.
• Ensure that you have free and unused IPv4 addresses on the same network segment as existing nodes
(each new node must be installed on the same network as existing nodes of its type).
• Ensure that you have the vCenter administrator account credentials ready.
• Ensure that each new node uses the same network topology and cabling as the existing storage or
compute clusters.
Steps
1.
Browse to the management IP address of one of the existing storage nodes:
http://<storage_node_management_IP_address>/
2. Log in to the NetApp Deployment Engine by providing the NetApp HCI storage cluster administrator
credentials.
3. Select Expand Your Installation.
4. On the Welcome page, select Yes.
5. On the End User License page, perform the following actions:
