Add a compute host to the cluster (dynamically)

Install the Platform package for your host. The same master and port number as the rest of the cluster's hosts must be configured.

Compute hosts can be added to the cluster and included in a dynamic resource group automatically so they can be used immediately. This does not apply to management hosts. For information about adding management hosts, refer to the installation documentation.

  1. Start Symphony on the host.

    The host contacts the LIM and joins the cluster.

  2. If you have a dynamic resource group in your cluster and the host matches the resource requirement of it, the host is added to the resoure group automatically.

To specify the resources of a dynamically added host, specify them in the EGO_LOCAL_RESOURCES parameter in ego.conf.
