12. Click Continue .
13. Optional : If you created a new vSphere datacenter cluster, on the Network Settings page, import network
information from an existing NetApp HCI deployment by selecting the Copy Setting from an Existing
Cluster checkbox.
This populates the default gateway and subnet information for each network.
14. On the Network Settings page, some of the network information has been detected from the initial
deployment. Each new storage node is listed by serial number, and you need to assign the new network
information to it. For each new storage node, complete the following steps:
a. Hostname : 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.
b. Management Address : Enter a management IP address for the new storage node that is within the
management network subnet.
c. Storage (iSCSI) IP Address : Enter an iSCSI IP address for the new storage node that is within the
iSCSI network subnet.
d. Click Continue .

NetApp HCI might take some time to validate the IP addresses you enter. The
Continue button becomes available when IP address validation completes.
15. On the Review page in the Network Settings section, new nodes are shown in the bold text. To make
changes in any section, do the following:
a. Click Edit for that section.
b. After you finish, click Continue on any subsequent pages to return to the Review page.
16. 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 issues before
production is impacted.
17. Click Add Nodes .
You can monitor the progress while NetApp HCI adds and configures the resources.
18. Optional : Verify that any new nodes are visible in the VMware vSphere Web Client (for compute nodes) or
the Element Plug-in for vCenter Server (for storage nodes).

If you expanded a two-node storage cluster to four nodes or more, the pair of Witness
Nodes previously used by the storage cluster are still visible as standby virtual machines
in vSphere. The newly expanded storage cluster does not use them; if you want to
reclaim VM resources, you can
manually remove the Witness Node virtual machines.
