NetApp HCI Manual page 262

11. On the Available Inventory page, select the nodes you want to add to the existing NetApp HCI
installation.
For some compute nodes, you might need to enable EV at the highest level that your

vCenter version supports before you can add them to your installation. You need to use
the vSphere client to enable EVC for these compute nodes. After you enable it, refresh
the Inventory page and try adding the compute nodes again.
12. Click Continue.
13. Optional: If you created a new vSphere datacenter cluster, on the Network Settings page, import network
information from an existing NetApp HCI deployment by selecting the Copy Setting from an Existing
Cluster checkbox.
This populates the default gateway and subnet information for each network.
14. On the Network Settings page, some of the network information has been detected from the initial
deployment. Each new compute node is listed by serial number, and you need to assign new network
information to it. For each new compute node, complete the following steps:
a. Hostname: If NetApp HCI detected a naming prefix, copy it from the Detected Naming Prefix field,
and insert it as the prefix for the new hostname.
b. Management IP Address: Enter a management IP address for the new compute node that is within
the management network subnet.
c. vMotion IP Address: Enter a vMotion IP address for the new compute node that is within the vMotion
network subnet.
d. iSCSI A - IP Address: Enter an IP address for the first iSCSI port of the compute node that is in the
iSCSI network subnet.
e. iSCSI B - IP Address: Enter an IP address for the second iSCSI port of the compute node that is in the
iSCSI network subnet
f. Click Continue.
15. On the Review page in the Network Settings section, new nodes are shown in the bold text. To make
changes in any section, do the following:
a. Click Edit for that section.
b. After you finish, click Continue on any subsequent pages to return to the Review page.
16. Optional: If you do not want to send cluster statistics and support information to NetApp hosted SolidFire
Active IQ servers, clear the final checkbox.
This disables real-time health and diagnostic monitoring for NetApp HCI. Disabling this feature removes the
ability for NetApp to proactively support and monitor NetApp HCI to detect and resolve issues before
production is impacted.
17. Click Add Nodes.
You can monitor the progress while NetApp HCI adds and configures the resources.
18. Optional: Verify that any new compute nodes are visible in the VMware vSphere Web Client.
