  1. Add new KVM hosts or find existing KVM hosts that can support an HCP node. See the chapter Configuring the HCP-VM environment.
  2. Unpack and upload the ISO files to the selected KVM hosts. See Copying the .iso file and sending the Zip file to the KVM host.
  3. Create the new virtual machine. See Creating the HCP VM node.
  4. Configure the HCP VM network on the newly deployed HCP VM nodes. See Installing and initiating the KVM packages.
  5. From the highest active HCP VM node, run the Add Node service procedure. For more information, see the manual Installing and Maintaining an HCP System.

    Add Nodes to an Existing HCP System
=============================================

This option will erase all data on the new nodes, install the HCP software on
those nodes, and add the nodes to the system configuration.

(Default. no). yes
  6. Review the configuration and take one of the following actions.
    • If the configuration is incorrect:
      1. Enter n or no.
      2. In response to the confirming prompt, enter y or yes.

    • If the configuration is correct:
      1. Enter y or yes.
      2. In response to the confirming prompt, enter y or yes. HCP Setup performs a set of prechecks.

    If your current HCP system has dedicated database volumes, each newly added node must have at least three volumes. Also, the dedicated database volume size needs to be at least 50 GB. All dedicated database volumes need to be the same size.
  7. Select dedicated database volumes.
    1. When prompted, select the dedicated database volume for the first node.
    2. Press Enter to confirm your selection.
    3. Repeat the previous two substeps for each node in the system.
    After you select the dedicated database volumes for each node, HCP Setup confirms your selections. Then the wizard asks if you want to continue the node addition.
    Select dedicated volume for each node.
Found these volumes:

               1. /dev/sdd at 2:0:0:1 (500GB)
               2. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:2 (500GB)
               3. /dev/sdd at 2:0:0:3 (500GB)

Select dedicated database volume for node 001: 4
You chose: “4. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB)”, is this correct? [Default: yes]:
Select dedicated database volume for node 002: 4
You chose: “4. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB)”, is this correct? [Default: yes]:
Select dedicated database volume for node 003: 4
You chose: “4. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB)”, is this correct? [Default: yes]:
Select dedicated database volume for node 004: 4
You chose: “4. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB)”, is this correct? [Default: yes]:
Following volumes will be configured as dedicated database volumes:
       node 001: 4. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB)
       node 002: 4. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB)
       node 003: 4. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB)
       node 004: 4. /dev/sde at 2:0:0:4 (1TB)
Do you want to continue? [Default: yes]?
  8. Press Enter to continue the procedure.
    • If the prechecks are successful, the HCP software is installed on the new nodes. For HCP with internal storage and VM systems, the software is installed on four nodes at a time. For HCP with SAN-attached storage systems, the software is installed on one cross-mapped pair of nodes at a time. After the software installation is complete, the nodes are restarted. When the node addition is complete, the HCP Configuration Menu redisplays.
    • If any of the prechecks fail, HCP Setup exits. In this case, fix the problem and then start the node addition procedure again.
    • If HCP Setup exits at any time before the node addition processing is complete, contact your HCP support center for help.
  9. From the HCP Configuration Menu, enter q to log out of the install shell.
  10. In response to the confirming prompt, enter y or yes to confirm the move or n or no to try again.
