The user data of the additional cluster nodes provides the nodes with the information they need to form a cluster. See the section additional-node-user-data-template.json for details. Table 9 shows the description of additional-node-user-data-template.json. Keep other options as the default if they are not listed in Table 9.
The section User data of additional nodes example provides examples.
json file key name | Description |
hal_dongle_serialno | The serial number of the cluster node in the format SV200-930073-<device_id> where <device_id> is an integer sequence assigned to deployed nodes sequentially starting from 0 with 4 digits of 0 padding. Therefore, it is SV200-930073-0001 for the second node, SV200-930073-0002 for the third node, and so on. |
hal_volume_type | The EBS volume type for the cluster, gp3 or st1. |
devices[*].ext-1 | The external IP address of each node |
devices[*].int-a | The internal IP address of each node |
devices[*].serial_number | The serial number of each node |
