Chapter 1. Add compute and storage resources


Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Virtualization (RHHI for Virtualization) can be scaled in multiples of three nodes to a maximum of twelve nodes.

Follow these instructions to use the Cockpit UI to expand your hyperconverged cluster.

Prerequisites

  • Verify that your scaling plans are supported.
  • If your existing deployment uses certificates signed by a Certificate Authority for encryption, prepare the certificates that will be required for the new nodes.
  • Install three physical machines to serve as the new hyperconverged nodes.

    Follow the instructions in Deploying Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Virtualization.

  • Configure key-based SSH authentication without a password.

    Configure this from the node that is running Cockpit to all new nodes, and from the first new node to all other new nodes.

    Important

    RHHI for Virtualization expects key-based SSH authentication without a password between these nodes for both IP addresses and FQDNs. Ensure that you configure key-based SSH authentication between these machines for the IP address and FQDN of all storage and management network interfaces.

    Follow the instructions in Using key-based authentication to configure key-based SSH authentication without a password.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Cockpit.
  2. Click Virtualization Hosted Engine and then click Manage Gluster.
  3. Click Expand Cluster. The Gluster Deployment window opens.

    1. On the Hosts tab, enter the FQDN or IP address of the new hyperconverged nodes and click Next.
