    3. Click the name of the database system that you want to add nodes to.
    4. On the DBSystem details page, under Resources, click DBSystem nodes.
    5. Click Add node.

      • Private IP address: Enter a private IP address for the new node. The IP address must belong to the specified subnet IP range and should not be used by other Compute instances. The value is optional. If an IP address isn't provided, one is chosen from among the available IP addresses of the database system subnet
    7. Click Add.
  • Use the oci psql db-system patch command and required parameters to add a node to a database system:

    oci psql db-system patch --db-system-id <database_OCID> [OPTIONS]
