Managing compute nodes

Compute nodes run the compute services and virtual machines. You can deploy the compute cluster on top of the storage cluster, thus, making a hyperconverged infrastructure. Alternatively, you can separate the compute services from the core storage services by running the compute services on other infrastructure nodes. Keep in mind that deploying the compute services increases resource consumption and may affect storage cluster performance.

Prerequisites

• The compute cluster is created, as described in Creating the compute cluster.
