Hello,

 

I have installed a 2 Node cluster using nutanix foundation VM with witness node as a tie breaker in dell xc4510 and everything is running fine. I have created multiple production VM. I have an another host with same hardware configuration and want to convert 2 node to 3 node cluster. I want to know the best procedure to achieve this.

HI,

there is no conversion or upgrade path from 2-node to 3-node. This means you need to completely reinstall the 3-nodes with foundation. So you need an idea how to handle the VMs which is depending on your environment and possible options could be:

  • Backup & Restore
  • Migrate to a different Nutanix environment if available
  • talk to your Nutanix Partner or Nutanix Salesteam if they can help with a demo or test cluster
