Expanding the Azure Stack HCI cluster

  • Repair a server on the Azure Stack HCI cluster

    Follow the steps in this section to add server nodes in the Azure Stack HCI cluster.
    1. Ensure that the user credential created for cluster deployment is active in the Active Directory.
    2. If possible, shutdown the node that you want to repair.
    3. Format the BOSS drive and reimage the node that needs to be repaired.
    4. To register your node to Azure Arc and install user roles on the node, follow the steps mentioned in Prerequisites.
    5. On a different node in the same cluster, run the following commands:
      1. Get an updated authentication token: 
        Update-AuthenticationToken
      2. Sign in with user credentials provided during cluster deployment. Run the following command to repair the node: 
        $Cred = Get-Credential 
        Repair-Server -Name "< Name of the new server>" -LocalAdminCredential $Cred
      3. (optional) Note the operation ID generated as an output of the Repair-Server command to monitor the progress. 
        Start-MonitoringActionplanInstanceToComplete -actionPlanInstanceID <operation ID>
