Add a new node type to an existing node pool

You can add a new node type to an existing node pool.

OneFS cannot autoprovision new nodes when there are compatibility restrictions between the new nodes and the nodes in an existing node pool. To allow a new compatible node to join an existing, compatible node pool, add the new node's type ID to the existing compatible node pool.
  1. Run the isi storagepool nodetypes list command to view the node types and their IDs.
    Note the ID of the node type to be added to the existing compatible node pool.
  2. Run the isi storagepool nodepools modify <nodepool_name> --add-node-type-ids=<new_nodetype_id>
The new node type is added to the existing compatible node pool.

For example, suppose that your cluster has an X410 node pool named x410_nodepool and that you want to add a new X410 node to that node pool. However, the new node has different RAM than the older nodes. Running the isi storagepool nodetypes list command shows that the new X410 node type ID is 12. You can then add the new node type to the existing node pool as follows:

isi storagepool nodepools modify x410_nodepool --add-node-type-ids=12
