Greetings,

I have set up a 3 Node HA device so far using the Management Console, however now I would like to learn how to add in additional nodes via PowerShell. Looking at the sample scripts, I see that samples are provided for creating 2 and 3 node HA devices and those make sense however what is not clear to me is how I would go about adding in a 4th and Nth nodes after the initial HA device is created. Do I simply need to modify the scripts to include the original node details plus whatever other nodes I am adding and then do something like

Code: Select all

$device = Add-HADevice -server $server -firstNode $firstNode -secondNode $secondNode -thirdNode $thirdNode -fourthNode $fourthNode -fifthNode $fifthNode -initMethod "Clear"

if I were going to add in a fourth and fifth node?

Any advice on this would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello, zeddferlife, thank you for your question. StarWind officially supports active replication between 2 and 3-nodes. in case you need to have 5 nodes in the cluster you can deploy StarWind on GRID architecture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxInkhAsBX8

Hello, Diego! You can connect to the local server with the following commands:

Code: Select all

Import-Module StarWindX
$server = New-SWServer 127.0.0.1 3261 root starwind
$server.Connect()

You can find StarWind Powershell samples here:
