Increase or Decrease GigaVUE V Seriess Nodes using VMware NSX-T Manager

You can add more nodes or remove nodes from an existing monitoring domain using VMware NSX-T Manager if you deployed GigaVUE V Series Nodes using VMware NSX-T Manager.

Refer to the following topics for instructions:

Add V Series Nodes to Existing Monitoring Domain

To increase the number of V Series Node in a Monitoring domain,

  1. In the VMware NSX-T manager, go to the Service Deployment page and select Deployment. This page lists the service deployments that are already deployed. 

  2. Select Deploy Service. 

    For more details on how to deploy a service, refer to Partner Service.

  3. 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. 

  4. In the Clustered Deployment Count, enter the number of nodes you wish to add to the existing monitoring domain.

  5. Select Save.

When 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,

  1. In the VMware NSX-T manager, go to the Service Deployment page, and select Deployment.The service deployment page lists the service deployments that are already deployed. .
  2. Select the service deployment that you want to delete. 

The GigaVUE V Series Nodes in that service deployment are deleted from the host. These GigaVUE V Series Nodes are also removed from the monitoring domain in the GigaVUE‑FM. 

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.
