    The initial configuration wizard opens.

  4. On the Join Existing Deployment page, enter the master node FQDN lax01vrli01a.lax01.rainpole.local and click Go. 

    The worker node sends a request to the vRealize Log Insight master node to join the existing deployment.

  5. After the worker node contacts the master node, click the Click here to access the Cluster Management page link.
