fabric:ensemble-add

Because the total number of containers in an ensemble must always be odd, you should add an even number of containers.

For example, consider a fabric consisting of three containers—root1, root2, and root3—where root1 is an Fuse Server and root2 and root3 are ordinary Fabric Containers. You can now add root2 and root3 to the current ensemble by entering the following console command:

fabric:ensemble-add root2 root3

fabric:ensemble-add root2 root3

Normally, it makes sense to have at most one Fabric Server running on each host, so that the specified containers are actually running on remote hosts (hence, it usually does not make sense to add child containers to an ensemble). You do not need to provide any information about where the containers are running, however, because fabric already knows the location of the containers in the fabric.

Table 10.24, “fabric:ensemble-add Arguments” describes the command's arguments.
