a. Read the VMware End User License Agreement.
b. If you accept the terms, select
I accept
at the end of the agreement text.
6. Select

7. On the vCenter page, perform the following steps:
a. Enter a FQDN or IP address and administrator credentials for the vCenter instance associated with
your NetApp HCI installation.
b. Select
Continue
.
c. Select an existing vSphere datacenter to which to add the new compute node.
d. Select a vSphere cluster with which the new compute node should be associated.
If you are adding a compute node with a CPU generation that is different than the
CPU generation of the existing compute nodes and Enhanced vMotion Compatibility
(EVC) is disabled on the controlling vCenter instance, you should enable EVC before
proceeding. This ensures vMotion functionality after expansion is complete.
e. Select
Continue
.
8. On the ESXi Credentials page, create ESXi administrator credentials for the compute node you are adding.
You should use the same master credentials that were created during the initial NetApp HCI deployment.
9. Select
Continue
.
10. On the Available Inventory page, select the node you want to add to the existing NetApp HCI installation.
For some compute nodes, you might need to enable EVC at the highest level your
vCenter version supports before you can add them to your installation. You should 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.
11. Select
Continue
.
12. On the Network Settings page, perform the following steps:
a. Verify the information detected from the initial deployment.
b. Each new compute 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 compute node that is
within the management network subnet.
iii. In the vMotion IP Address field, enter a vMotion IP address for the compute node that is within the
vMotion network subnet.
iv. In the iSCSI A - IP Address field, enter an IP address for the first iSCSI port of the compute node
that is within the iSCSI network subnet.
v. In the iSCSI B - IP Address field, enter an IP address for the second iSCSI port of the compute
node that is within the iSCSI network subnet.
c. Select
Continue
.
13. 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:
