ScaleIO: How to add additional IPs to ScaleIO 2.0 MDM cluster?

Article Content


Instructions

The procedure below describes how to add additional IPs to MDM cluster in ScaleIO 2.0

Additional Information

Steps:
1. Run "scli --query_cluster" to get the current cluster state/health.

2. Switch to single cluster mode: 
scli --switch_cluster_mode --cluster_mode 1_node --remove_slave_mdm_id <mdm_slave_id> --remove_tb_id <tb_id>

3. Remove the standbys MDM/TB:
scli --remove_standby_mdm --remove_mdm_id <mdm_slave_id>

4. Remove Tie-Breaker
scli --remove_standby_mdm --remove_mdm_id <tb_id>

5. Add the MDM as standby with the IPs (including the additional IPs):
scli --add_standby_mdm --new_mdm_ip ip_1<,ip_2,...> --mdm_role manager --new_mdm_management_ip ip_1<,ip_2,...> --allow_asymmetric_ips --force_clean
E.g.: scli --add_standby_mdm --new_mdm_ip 10.xx.x.x,10.xx.xx.x --mdm_role manager --new_mdm_management_ip 10.xx.x.x,10.xx.xx.x --allow_asymmetric_ips --force_clean

6. Add the TB as standby with the IPs (including the additional IPs):
scli --add_standby_mdm --new_mdm_ip ip_1<,ip_2,...> --mdm_role tb --new_mdm_management_ip ip_1<,ip_2,...> --allow_asymmetric_ips --force_clean
E.g.: scli --add_standby_mdm --new_mdm_ip 10.xx.x.x,10.xx.xx.x --mdm_role tb --new_mdm_management_ip 10.xx.x.x,10.xx.xx.x --allow_asymmetric_ips --force_clean

7. Switch back to 3_node cluster: 
scli --switch_cluster_mode --cluster_mode 3_node --add_slave_mdm_id 0x4520631c7262bxxx --add_tb_id 0x3cde0ef516f61xxx

8. Run "scli --query_cluster" to get the current cluster state/health.

9. Switch MDM ownership to verify cluster functionality:
scli --switch_mdm_ownership --new_master_mdm_id 0x4520631c7262bxxx

10. Run "scli --query_cluster" to get the current cluster state/health.

11. Add IP's for Master MDM(presently Slave MDM)
Follow step 2, 3, 5, 7 & 8

12. Optional: Switch MDM ownership back to original MDM:

scli --switch_mdm_ownership --new_master_mdm_id MDM_ID

Please Note: the procedure example used is for 3_node cluster, however, the procedure for 5_node cluster is similar.
