Adding a Diskless Node to Electra VS
If you want to expand your system by adding diskless nodes, you first
need to purchase the physical nodes and rack them. You then need to
enable, configure and finally declare them in the system. This section
explains how to perform these operations for the 1RU, 6RU, and 10RU
systems.

Install the new blades in the blade center or the 1RU device in the rack as
explained in the ’
Installation and Startup ’ chapter. In the case of a 1RU
device, connect it like the other devices in the system.
