Adding a Server

HC offers an easy way to add as many servers as required in your cluster.

Prior to add server(s), you should perform certain configurations. To do so, go to Configuring Global Settings . Also, to add a server you should know the followings:

  • You can only add a server after configuring the Global Settings for your cluster.
  • There should be at least one server role selected for every server in the cluster.
  • For adding a new server in your cluster, you do not need to place the servers physically in a cluster. You can add a server any where in the world having any physical location. You only have to make that server a part of registered server cluster.
  • The required information for adding any server, totally depends on the selected role.
  • The family of the server is auto detected.
  • To add a new server in your cluster, the server should be part of the registered servers of your cluster.
  • It is highly recommended that those values which are pre-populated should not be changed especially in case of Linux Server.

  1. Log on to HC panel.
