If you screw up a system, don't blame it on me... To add a node to a running cluster, do the following: #. Obtain a current cluster configuration file:: cmgetconf current_config #. When going to a two node cluster, ensure at least one of the shared volume groups is activated. #. Create a generic configuration file:: cmquerycl -v -C generic_config -n ${node1} -n ${node2} -n ${node3} NOTE: Ensure the generic_config file is different from the current_config #. Merge the two configuration files. a. Cluster modifications are in ${current_config} b. Cluster defaults are in ${generic_config} #. Check the configuration:: cmcheckconf -C ${config} #. Apply the configuration:: cmapplyconf -C ${config} #. Run the new cluster:: cmruncl
