Hello,

I've already created a cluster using the command cluster -s x.x.x.x create and I'd like to add a second node to this cluster.

I've also seen that some people have an “expand cluster” tab in the hardware section of prism element, but I don't have it.

If anyone has encountered or knows this problem, I'm interested in the solution

I'm available if you have any further questions or need supplements, thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Fabio, 

 

Couple of things: 

  1. You cannot expand a single node cluster.
  2. You cannot create a 2 node cluster. 

If you want more nodes in a cluster you need minimum of 3 nodes.

Hi Jeroen,

thank you for your quick answer, in order to create a cluster with three nodes can I use the cluster create command and list my nodes by putting commas, is this correct ?

Exact. It would be something like this: cluster -s 10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2,10.0.0.3 create
