You extend a hyper-converged cluster by adding hosts and configuring their networking to match the cluster configuration.
Note: If you modify any cluster networking settings outside of Quickstart, you cannot use the Quickstart workflow to add and configure new hosts to the cluster.
Prerequisites
- You have already created a cluster and added hosts to it.
- In the initial cluster configuration, you configured the host networking.
- Verify that hosts have the same ESXi version and patch level.
- Obtain the user name and password of the root user account for the host.
- Verify that hosts do not have a manual vSAN or networking configuration.
Procedure
Results
After successful validation, your newly added hosts are configured as the existing hosts in your cluster and the Configure button in the Configure hosts card becomes inactive. You can only click Re-validate to verify the cluster configuration.
What to do next
Add more hosts to the cluster.
