To follow this procedure, you must already have a Management and Compute Node or a Management Node installed. If you are performing a fresh installation, refer to the Installation and Deployment Guide for the installation procedures.
To add a server, install a new server on a separate physical computer or on a virtual machine, and then configure it as a Management and Compute Node, a Management Node, or a Compute Node during installation.
Before you can add and configure a Virtual Mobile Infrastructure server, make sure to configure an external storage on current Virtual Mobile Infrastructure. See Configuring External Storage for the procedure.

Procedure

  1. Stop the current server. See Starting or Stopping a Server for the stoping procedure.
  2. Start installing a new server (as explained in the Installation and Deployment Guide).
  3. During installation, when the setup requires you to select the type of server you want to install, do one of the following:
    • To install Management and Compute Node:
      Type configure init server 1 vmi <first server's IP address>.
    • To install Compute Node only (for multiple server setup):
      Type configure init server 2 vmi <first server's IP address>.
    • To install Management Node only (for multiple server setup):
      Type configure init server 3 vmi <first server's IP address>.
