Increase or Decrease GigaVUE V Series Nodes using VMware NSX-T Manager
You can now add more nodes or remove nodes from an existing monitoring domain using VMware NSX-T Manager. These steps are applicable only when you deploy GigaVUE V Series Nodes using VMware NSX-T Manager.
Refer to the following topics for more detailed information on how to add or remove GigaVUE V Series Node deployed using NSX-T manager for an existing monitoring domain :
- Add V Series Nodes to Existing Monitoring Domain
- Decrease V Series Nodes from Existing Monitoring Domain
Add V Series Nodes to Existing Monitoring Domain
To increase the number of V Series Node in an existing monitoring domain using VMware NSX-T Manager follow the steps given below:
- On the Service Deployment page of the VMware NSX-T manager, select Deployment. This page lists the service deployments that are already deployed.
- Then, click Deploy Service button. For more details on how to deploy a service refer Deploy a Partner Service.
- Enter the same details as given for the service mapped to the existing monitoring domain in GigaVUE‑FM to which you wish to add more nodes.
- In the Clustered Deployment Count, enter the number of nodes you wish to add to the existing monitoring domain.
- Click Save.
Once the Service deployment is successful and the nodes are deployed, you can view the nodes on the monitoring domain page of GigaVUE‑FM.
Example - Consider a scenario where the monitoring domain in GigaVUE-FM has two V Series Nodes. To increase the number of nodes in this monitoring domain, go to VMware NSX-T Manager and create a new service using the steps mentioned above. Then, the number of V Series Nodes in the monitoring domain in GigaVUE‑FM goes up by the number you have mentioned in Clustered Deployment Count column in the VMware NSX-T.
Decrease V Series Nodes from Existing Monitoring Domain
To decrease the number of nodes in an existing monitoring domain using VMware NSX-T follow the steps given below:
- On the Service Deployment page of the VMware NSX-T manager, select Deployment.
- The service deployment page lists the service deployments that are already deployed. .
- Select the service deployment that you want to delete. The GigaVUE V Series Nodes that are part of that service deployment will be deleted from the host. These GigaVUE V Series Nodes will also be removed from the monitoring domain in the GigaVUE‑FM. This way the number of service VMs (V Series nodes) can be decreased in a monitoring domain
Example - Consider a scenario where the monitoring domain in GigaVUE-FM has five V Series Nodes. To reduce the number of nodes in this monitoring domain, go to VMware NSX-T Manager and delete a service deployment using the steps mentioned above. Then, the number of V Series Nodes in the monitoring domain in GigaVUE‑FM goes down by the number you have mentioned in Clustered Deployment Count column of the service you have deleted.
