Increase or Decrease GigaVUE V Series Nodes using GigaVUE‑FM
You can add more nodes or remove nodes from an existing monitoring domain using GigaVUE‑FM. These steps are applicable only when you deploy GigaVUE V Series Nodes using GigaVUE-FM.
Note: Increasing or Decreasing the number of nodes in a cluster is only applicable when using Clustered based deployment.
Refer to the following topics for more detailed information on how to add or remove GigaVUE V Series Node deployed using GigaVUE-FM 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 follow the steps given below:
- On the Monitoring domain page, select the monitoring domain to which you wish to add more V Series Nodes.
- Click on the Actions button and select Deploy Fabric.
- The VMware Fabric Deployment page opens. Enter the details as mentioned in Increase or Decrease GigaVUE V Series Nodes using GigaVUE‑FM
- The Deployment type must be Clustered to have multiple deployment on the same cluster.
- A cluster can have only one Host Based Deployment, however there can be multiple clustered deployment on the same cluster.
- Enter the number of V Series Nodes you wish to add in the Deployment Count column.
- Click Deploy.
The newly added V Series Nodes will be displayed under the existing monitoring domain with the new Deployment Name.
Decrease V Series Nodes from Existing Monitoring Domain
To decrease the number of nodes in an existing monitoring domain follow the steps given below:
- On the Monitoring domain page, select the Deployment from which you wish to remove the V Series Nodes or select the entire monitoring domain to remove all the deployments from the monitoring domain.
Note: You can select the Deployment either by using the check-box on the left side or by clicking on the deployment name
- Click on the Actions button and select Delete Deployment.
- All the V Series Nodes under that deployment will be deleted.
The number of V Series Nodes in the monitoring domain will be decreased by the number of nodes in the deployment that were deleted.
Example use-case for Increase or Decrease V Series Nodes using GigaVUE‑FM
This feature can be used in a scenario where you are migrating from GigaVUE-VM visibility solution to GigaVUE V Series visibility solution, you can simply add the V Series node to the existing monitoring domain instead of undeploying and redeploying the monitoring domain every time you wish to add more V Series nodes to the monitoring domain.
