Adding nodes to the NFS cluster

You can add more NFS nodes for high availability and scalability of your file storage.

Prerequisites

To add nodes to the NFS cluster

Admin panel

  1. Go to the Storage services > NFS > Nodes screen.
  2. Select one or more nodes in the Available nodes section, and then click Join NFS cluster.

The nodes will be added to your file storage.

Command-line interface

Use the following command:

vinfra service nfs node add --nodes <nodes>[:<ip_address>]
--nodes <nodes>[:<ip_address>]
A comma-separated list of node hostnames or IDs, and optionally their IP addresses

For example, to add the node node002 to the NFS cluster, run:

# vinfra service nfs node add --nodes node002

The added node will appear in the vinfra service nfs node list output:

# vinfra service nfs node list
