Expand the VxRail Cluster

Once a cluster has been added to a workload domain, you can expand it further by adding hosts.

The process of expanding the VxRail cluster for a workload domain involves three steps:

1. Image the new node.
2. Discover and add new node to the cluster using the Add VxRail hosts option in the vCenter plug in of VxRail.
   1. Go to the vCenter for VxRail.
   2. Click on that particular cluster. You can view the configuration.
   3. Under the Configure tab, the Add VxRail Hosts page shows the list of the discovered hosts.
   4. Click Add to trigger the addition of hosts to that particular cluster.
   5. Provide the user credentials. Click Next.
   6. Review the Host IP address details. Click Next.
   7. Provide the ESXi credentials. Click Next.
   8. (Optional Step) If required, you can select the Maintenance mode. Click Next.
   9. Click Validate.
3. Add the host to the VMware Cloud Foundation domain cluster. The next section provides more details about this task.
