4.2. Deploying secondary nodesΒΆ

To deploy a secondary node in a virtual machine, do the following:

  1. Obtain the management node IP address and token from the admin panel. To do this, open Infrastructure > Nodes, and then click Connect node, to invoke a screen with the management node IP address and the token.

  2. Open the virtual machine terminal and register the secondary node with the admin panel by running:

    # /usr/libexec/vstorage-ui-agent/bin/register-storage-node.sh -m <mn_addr> -t <token>

    Where <mn_addr> is the management node IP address; and <token> is the token obtained in the admin panel.

    In the admin panel, the newly registered secondary node will appear on the Infrastructure > Nodes screen. Its status will be Unassigned.

  3. Add the secondary node to the storage cluster:

    1. On the Infrastructure > Nodes screen, click an unassigned node.
    2. On the node right pane, click Join to cluster.
    3. Click Join to have Acronis Cyber Infrastructure assign the roles to disks automatically and add the node to the default location. Alternatively, click the cogwheel icon to configure the disk roles or node location.

Repeat these steps for each secondary node. After all of them are in the storage cluster, you can enable high availability for the management node on the Settings > Management node > Management high availability screen.

Now you can proceed to set up Acronis Cyber Infrastructure for the desired scenario. Instructions on performing various configuration tasks are provided in the Administrator Guide.
