All the other NetApp HCI nodes will be discovered automatically.
Expand an existing NetApp HCI installation
Steps
1. Open a web browser and browse to the IP address of the management node.
2. Log in to NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control by providing the NetApp HCI storage cluster administrator
credentials.
3. Follow the steps in the wizard to add storage and/or compute nodes to your NetApp HCI installation.
To add H410C compute nodes, the existing installation must run NetApp HCI 1.4 or later.
To add H615C compute nodes, the existing installation must run NetApp HCI 1.7 or later.
The newly installed NetApp HCI nodes on the same network will be discovered
automatically.
Perform post-configuration tasks
Depending on the type of node you have, you might need to perform additional steps after you install the
hardware and configure NetApp HCI.
• H610C node
• H615C and H610S nodes
H610C node
Install the GPU drivers in ESXi for each H610C node that you installed, and validate their functionality.
H615C and H610S nodes
Steps
1.
Use a web browser and navigate to the default BMC IP address: 192.168.0.120
2.
Log in using user name root and password calvin.
3. From the node management screen, navigate to Settings > Network Settings, and configure the network
parameters for the out-of-band management port.
If your H615C node has GPUs in it, install GPU drivers in ESXi for each H615C node that you installed, and
validate their functionality.
