Add Controller Nodes to Your Deployment

You can scale out your deployment by adding more controller nodes.

Note: The number of controller nodes in a deployment cannot be reduced. Ensure that you have sufficient resources before initiating a scale-out operation. Do not delete controller nodes through vSphere.

Procedure

1. Log in to the Integrated OpenStack Manager web interface as the admin user.
2. In OpenStack Deployment, click the name of your deployment and open the Nodes tab.
3. Click Scale Out Controller Node.
4. Enter the desired number of controller nodes and click OK.

Results

The new controller nodes are created. Once the nodes are displayed in the table and their status has changed to Ready, they can be used as part of your deployment.
