NetApp HCI 1.4 P2, 1.4, and 1.3
If your NetApp HCI installation runs version 1.4P2, 1.4, or 1.3, you can use the NetApp Deployment Engine to
add the node to the cluster.
Steps
1. Browse to the management IP address of one of the existing storage nodes:
http://<storage_node_management_IP_address>/
2. Log in to the NetApp Deployment Engine by providing the NetApp HCI storage cluster administrator
credentials.
3. Select Expand Your Installation.
4. On the Welcome page, select No.
5. Click Continue.
6. On the Available Inventory page, select the storage node to add to the NetApp HCI installation.
7. Select Continue.
8. On the Network Settings page, perform the following steps:
a. Verify the information detected from the initial deployment.
Each new storage node is listed by serial number, and you should assign new network information to it.
For each new storage node, perform the following steps:
i. If NetApp HCI detected a naming prefix, copy it from the Detected Naming Prefix field, and insert it
as the prefix for the new unique hostname you add in the Hostname field.
ii. In the Management IP Address field, enter a management IP address for the new storage node
that is within the management network subnet.
iii. In the Storage (iSCSI) IP Address field, enter an iSCSI IP address for the new storage node that is
within the iSCSI network subnet.
b. Select Continue.
c. On the Review page in the Network Settings section, the new node is shown in bold text. If you want to
make changes to information in any section, perform the following steps:
i. Select Edit for that section.
ii. When finished making changes, select Continue on any subsequent pages to return to the Review
page.
9. Optional: If you do not want to send cluster statistics and support information to NetApp-hosted 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 problems before
production is affected.
10. Select Add Nodes.
You can monitor the progress while NetApp HCI adds and configures the resources.
11. Optional: Verify that any new storage nodes are visible in the VMware vSphere Web Client.
NetApp HCI 1.2, 1.1, and 1.0
When you install the node, the terminal user interface (TUI) displays the fields necessary to configure the
node. You must enter the necessary configuration information for the node before you proceed with adding the
node to the cluster.
