Adding a Cloud services node to an existing Cloud services cluster

This topic describes the procedure for adding a Cloud services client or a server to an existing Cloud services cluster.

1. Add the new node to the existing node class by using the mmchnodeclass add command. For example,

   mmchnodeclass add TCTNodeClass1 -N node5

2. Install the Cloud services RPMs (either client or server) on the node that is added. For more information, see Installing cloud services on IBM Spectrum Scale nodes.
3. Designate the node as Cloud services node.

   mmchnode --cloud-gateway-enable -N node5 --cloud-gateway-nodeclass TCTNodeClass1

   For more information, see Designating the cloud services nodes.
4. Start the Cloud services software on the new node by using the mmcloudgateway service start command.

   mmcloudgateway service start node5
