NetApp HCI 1.6P1 and later
You can use NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control only if your NetApp HCI installation runs on version 1.6P1 or later.
Steps
1.
Open a web browser and browse to the IP address of the management node. For example:
https://<ManagementNodeIP>/manager/login
2. Log in to NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control by providing the NetApp HCI storage cluster administrator
credentials.
3. In the Expand Installation pane, select Expand.
4. Log in to the NetApp Deployment Engine by providing the NetApp HCI storage cluster administrator
credentials.
5. On the Welcome page, select No.
6. Select Continue.
7. On the Available Inventory page, select the storage node you want to add to the existing NetApp HCI
installation.
8. Select Continue.
9. On the Network Settings page, some of the network information has been detected from the initial
deployment. Each new storage node is listed by serial number, and you should assign new network
information to it. Perform the following steps:
a. If NetApp HCI detected a naming prefix, copy it from the Detected Naming Prefix field, and insert it as
the prefix for the new unique hostname you add in the Hostname field.
b. In the Management IP Address field, enter a management IP address for the new storage node that is
within the management network subnet.
c. In the Storage (iSCSI) IP Address field, enter an iSCSI IP address for the new storage node that is
within the iSCSI network subnet.
d. Select Continue.
NetApp HCI might take some time to validate the IP addresses you enter. The
Continue button becomes available when IP address validation is complete.
10. On the Review page in the Network Settings section, new nodes are shown in bold text. If you need to
make changes to information in any section, perform the following steps:
a. Select Edit for that section.
b. When finished making changes, select Continue on any subsequent pages to return to the Review
page.
11. Optional: If you do not want to send cluster statistics and support information to NetApp-hosted 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.
12.
Select Add Nodes.
You can monitor the progress while NetApp HCI adds and configures the resources.
13. Optional: Verify that any new storage nodes are visible in the VMware vSphere Web Client.
