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.
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.

Before adding an Oracle Solaris host or a virtual machine to an existing global cluster or a zone cluster, ensure that the node has all of the necessary hardware correctly installed and configured, including an operational physical connection to the private cluster interconnect.
For hardware installation information, refer to the Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.0 Hardware Administration Manual or the hardware documentation that shipped with your server.
This procedure enables a machine to install itself into a cluster by adding its node name to the list of authorized nodes for that cluster.
The phys-schost# prompt reflects a global-cluster prompt. Perform this procedure on a global cluster.
This procedure provides the long forms of the Oracle Solaris Cluster commands. Most commands also have short forms. Except for the long and short forms of the command names, the commands are identical.
Use the scinstall utility to complete the installation and configuration of the new node, as described in the Oracle Solaris Cluster Software Installation Guide.
You must also specify a network resource to be used for public network communication on each node. In the following example, the zone name is sczone, and sc_ipmp0 is the IPMP group name.
clzc:sczone>add node clzc:sczone:node>set physical-host=phys-cluster-3 clzc:sczone:node>set hostname=hostname3 clzc:sczone:node>add net clzc:sczone:node:net>set address=hostname3 clzc:sczone:node:net>set physical=sc_ipmp0 clzc:sczone:node:net>end clzc:sczone:node>end clzc:sczone>exit
For detailed instructions on configuring the node, see Configuring a Zone Cluster in Oracle Solaris Cluster Software Installation Guide.
# clzc install zone-cluster
Press the Return key.
Follow the clsetup prompts. This option tells the cluster to ignore all requests over the public network from any new machine that is trying to add itself to the cluster.
Example 8-1 Adding a Global-Cluster Node to the Authorized Node List
The following example shows how to add a node named phys-schost-3 to the authorized node list in an existing cluster.
[Become superuser and execute the clsetup utility.] phys-schost# clsetup [Select New nodes>Specify the name of a machine which may add itself.] [Answer the questions when prompted.] [Verify that the command completed successfully.] claccess allow -h phys-schost-3 Command completed successfully. [Select Prevent any new machines from being added to the cluster.] [Quit the clsetup New Nodes Menu and Main Menu.] [Install the cluster software.]
