Hi all,

I just want to make sure I tread carefully as this is production.

I have a two node cluster set up which stores its VMs on a SAN and has access to a number of VLANs.

I now want to add a third node. What do I need to do before I add it to the cluster other than assigning it its own IP address? Will it pick up the SAN LUNs and VLANs from the cluster master?

Thanks,

Col
 
Hi,
the storage-config will be synced, but the network-config not (if you have different machines with different NICs do don't want a sync ;-)).
So you have to configure the network-config first, that all nessassary vlans (for iscsi and the clients) are reachable.

I think that should be all.
