Larger environments with multiple-node VMware Aria Operations clusters contain one primary node and one or more data nodes for additional data collection, storage, processing, and analysis.
Prerequisites
- Create nodes by deploying the VMware Aria Operations vApp.
- Create and configure the primary node.
- Note the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP address of the primary node.
Procedure
What to do next
After creating a data node, you have the following options.
- New, unstarted clusters:
- Create and add more data nodes.
- Create a high availability primary replica node.
- In a Web browser, navigate to the primary node administration interface at https://primary-node-name-or-ip-address/admin. Verify that all the nodes are listed under the Start VMware Aria Operations to start the cluster and to finish configuring the product.
The cluster might take from 10 to 30 minutes to start, depending on the size of your cluster and nodes. Do not make changes or perform any actions on cluster nodes while the cluster is starting.
. Then, click
- Established, running clusters:
- Create and add more data nodes.
- Create a high availability primary replica node, which requires a cluster restart.
