Adding a Node to a Cluster or Zone Cluster
This section describes how to add a node to a global cluster or a zone cluster. You can create
a new zone-cluster node on a node of the global cluster that hosts the zone cluster, as long as that
global-cluster node does not already host a node of that particular zone cluster.
Note -
The node that you add must run the same version of the
Oracle Solaris Cluster software as the cluster it is joining.
Specifying an IP address and NIC for each zone cluster node is optional.
Note -
If you do not configure an IP address for each zone cluster node, two things will
occur:
-
That specific zone cluster will not be able to configure NAS devices for use in the zone
cluster. The cluster uses the IP address of the zone cluster node when communicating with the NAS
device, so not having an IP address prevents cluster support for fencing NAS devices.
-
The cluster software will activate any logical host IP address on any NIC.
If the original zone cluster node did not have a IP address or NIC specified, then you do not
need to specify that information for the new zone cluster node.
In this chapter, phys-schost# reflects a global-cluster prompt. The
clzonecluster interactive shell prompt is
clzc:schost>.
The following table lists the tasks to perform to add a node to an existing cluster. Perform
the tasks in the order shown.

|
Install the host adapter on the node and verify that the existing cluster interconnects can
support the new node
|
|
|
Add shared storage
|
You can also use Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager to add a shared storage device to a zone cluster. Navigate in Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager to the page
for the zone cluster and click the Solaris Resources tab. For Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager log-in instructions, see How to Access Oracle Solaris Cluster Manager. |

Add the node to the authorized node list
|
claccess allow -h node-being-added
|
|
Install and configure the software on the new cluster node
|
|
|
Add the new node to an existing cluster
|
|
|
If the cluster is configured in an Oracle Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition partnership, configure the
new node as an active participant in the configuration
