Use the cluvfy stage -pre nodeadd command to verify the specified nodes are configured correctly before adding them to your existing cluster, and to verify the integrity of the cluster before you add the nodes.
This command verifies that the system configuration, such as the operating system version, software patches, packages, and kernel parameters, for the nodes that you want to add, is compatible with the existing cluster nodes, and that the clusterware is successfully operating on the existing nodes. Run this command on any node of the existing cluster.
Use the cluvfy stage -post nodeadd command to verify that the specified nodes have been successfully added to the cluster at the network, shared storage, and clusterware levels.

Table A-33 cluvfy stage [-pre | -post] nodeadd Command Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
-n node_list |
A comma-delimited list of nondomain qualified node names on which to conduct the verification. These are the nodes you are adding or have added to the cluster. |
-vip vip_list |
A comma-delimited list of virtual IP addresses to be used by the new nodes. |
-flex [-hub hub_list [-vip vip_list]] |
Specify Additionally, you can specify a comma-delimited list of virtual IP addresses that will be applied to the list of Hub Nodes you specify. |
-leaf leaf_list |
Optionally, you can specify a comma-delimited list of non-domain qualified node names that you want to add to the cluster as Leaf Nodes. |
-fixup |
Specifies that if the verification fails, then CVU performs fixup operations, if feasible. |
-fixupnoexec |
Specifies that if verification fails, then CVU generates the fixup data and displays the instructions for manual execution of the generated fixups. |
-method {sudo -user user_name
[-location dir_path] | root} |
Specify whether the privilege delegation method is |
-verbose |
CVU prints detailed output. |
