Deploying protocols on an existing cluster

Use this information to deploy protocols on an existing cluster by using the installation toolkit.

  1. Designate the installer node by using the following command:
    ./spectrumscale setup -s Installer_Node_IP 
  2. Designate protocol nodes in your environment to use for the deployment by using the following command:
    ./spectrumscale node add FQDN -p
  3. Designate GUI nodes in your environment to use for the deployment by using the following command:
    ./spectrumscale node add FQDN -g
  4. Configure protocols to point to a shared root file system by using the following command:
    ./spectrumscale config protocols -f FS_Name -m FS_Mountpoint
  5. On the administrator node and all the protocol nodes, add a list of the pool of export IP addresses to the /etc/hosts file.
    Example where the list of pool of export IP addresses is added to the hosts file

    In this example, the Comma_Separated_List_of_Exportpool_IPs is 9.12.53.169,9.12.53.170,9.12.53.171,9.11.53.172.

    /etc/hosts
    9.12.53.169 ces1
    9.12.53.170 ces2
    9.12.53.171 ces3
    9.11.53.172 ces
  6. Configure the pool of export IP addresses by using the following command:
    ./spectrumscale config protocols -e Comma_Separated_List_of_Exportpool_IPs
  7. Enable NFS on all protocol nodes by using the following command:
    ./spectrumscale enable nfs
  8. Enable SMB on all protocol nodes by using the following command:
    ./spectrumscale enable smb
  9. Review the configuration before deployment by using the following command:
    ./spectrumscale config protocols
    
    ./spectrumscale node list
  10. Deploy protocols on your defined environment by using the following command:
    ./spectrumscale deploy --precheck
    ./spectrumscale deploy
