    Member IP address [ ]

    Note:

    Do not enter the domain name server (DNS) name or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the node.
  3. Repeat steps to add additional nodes to the cluster.
  4. When done adding nodes, select option 3, Apply new cluster configuration. Press Enter to continue.
  5. Select option 3, Quit out of cluster configuration. Press Enter to continue.
  6. If this system is not part of the cluster, select option 2, No. Otherwise, select option 1, Yes. Press Enter to continue.
  7. If you selected Yes, enter the nncentral user name and nncentral password which other nodes of the cluster can use to SFTP files from this system. See the Configure the NNCentral Account section if you need to configure an nncentral account.

    Note:

    The master server node in the OCSDM cluster must be started and fully operational before you can start the replica nodes.

If you need to change cluster member IP addresses after a successful OCSDM cluster deployment, you must backup the OCSDM database, reinstall the cluster (with the new cluster member IP addresses), and restore the database backup and start each cluster member node.
