Activate the compute host cluster
When activating the compute cluster in CS9, there are two scenarios to consider.
Scenario 1:
The new host is on the same CS9 compute cluster as the existing hosts. In this scenario,
the new host needs to join the existing cluster.
1.
All deployed instances need to be terminated or migrated first.
2.
From the CloudSystem Ops Console, deactivate the compute cluster.
3.
Activate the same compute cluster with the new host included.
4.
Re-deploy the terminated instances or migrate them back to the newly activate compute cluster.
Scenario 2
: The new host is on a different CS9 compute cluster. The steps configured earlier for the
new compute host has it configured on the same cluster as existing ones.
1.
Create a new compute cluster.
2.
Configure the CS9 virtual distributed switches on the new cluster.
3.
Migrate the new compute host into the new cluster.
4.
From the CloudSystem Ops Console, verify that the new cluster got discovered.
5.
Activate the new compute cluster with the new host.
