Last Published: 2023-05-10

Product(s): InfoScale & Storage Foundation (8.0.210)

Platform: Linux

Adding nodes to an existing cluster

Complete the following steps to add nodes to an existing InfoScale cluster-

Ensure that you add the worker nodes to the Kubernetes cluster.
Note:
You must add all Kubernetes worker nodes to the InfoScale cluster.

Run the following command on the master node to check whether the newly added node is Ready.

kubectl get nodes -A

Review output similar to the following


NAME           STATUS  ROLES         AGE  VERSION
worker-node-1  Ready   control-plane,
                              master 222d v1.21.0
worker-node-2  Ready   worker        222d v1.21.0
worker-node-3  Ready   worker        222d v1.21.0

To add new nodes to an existing cluster, the cluster must be in a running state. Run the following command on the master node to verify.
kubectl get infoscalecluster
See the State in the output similar to the following -
```
NAME                 NAMESPACE      VERSION    STATE   AGE
infoscalecluster-dev infoscale-vtas 8.0.210 Running 1m15s
```

Edit clusterInfo section of the sample /YAML/Kubernetes/cr.yaml to add information about the new nodes.

In this example, worker-node-1 and worker-node-2 exist. worker-node-3 is being added.

Note:

If you specify IP addresses, the number of IP addresses for the new nodes must be same as the number of IP addresses for the existing nodes.

  YOU CAN ADD UP TO 16 NODES.
  fencingDevice: ["<Hardware path to the first fencing device>",
                  "<Hardware path to the second fencing device>",    
                  "<Hardware path to the third fencing device>", ]
  encrypted: false
  sameEnckey: false
  customImageRegistry: <Custom registry name /
                       <IP address of the custom registry>:<port number> >

Run the following command on the master node to initiate add node workflow.
kubectl apply -f /YAML/Kubernetes/cr.yaml

You can run the following commands on the master node when node addition is in progress.

a. kubectl get infoscalecluster

See the State in the output as under. ProcessingAddNode indicates node is getting added.

 
NAME                   NAMESPACE        VERSION      STATE               AGE
infoscalecluster-dev   infoscale-vtas   8.0.210   ProcessingAddNode   26m

b. kubectl describe infoscalecluster -n infoscale-vtas

Output similar to following indicates the cluster status during add node. The cluster is Degraded when node addition is in progress.

Cluster Name:  infoscalecluster-dev
  Cluster Nodes:
    Exclude Device:
      /dev/sdm
      /dev/sdn
    Node Name:  worker-node-1

    Node Name:  worker-node-2
    Role:       Joined,Slave
    Node Name:  worker-node-3

Run the following command on the master node to verify if pods are created successfully. It may take some time for the pods to be created.

kubectl get pods -n infoscale-vtas

Output similar to the following indicates a successful creation.
