To add nodes by recreating the database

This procedure enables you to maintain HADB availability throughout the process.

1. For each Enterprise Server instance:

   1. Disable the Enterprise Server instance in the load balancer.

   2. Disable session persistence.

   3. Restart the Enterprise Server instance.

   4. Re-enable the Enterprise Server instance in the load balancer.

   If you do not need to maintain availability, you can disable and re-enable all the server instances at once in the load balancer. This saves time and prevents failover of outdated session data.

2. Stop the database as described in Stopping a Database .

3. Delete the database as described in Removing a Database .

4. Recreate the database with the additional nodes as described in Creating a Database.

5. Reconfigure the JDBC connection pool as described in Configuring the JDBC Connection Pool.

7. For each Enterprise Server instance:

   3. Restart the Enterprise Server instance.

   4. Re-enable the Enterprise Server instance in the load balancer.

   If you do not need to maintain availability, you can disable and re-enable all the server instances at once in the load balancer. This saves time and prevents failover of outdated session data.
