We added a node through Windows Admin Center to demonstrate the ease of scaling out using Dell OpenManage Integration with Windows Admin Center. We initially deployed a 3-node cluster and added a fourth node prior to testing. Before adding a node to the cluster, we needed to make sure the node was joined to the Active Directory domain and added as a connection in Windows Admin Center.
Figure 15 and Figure 16 show how we used this feature for our cluster.
Once the server was prepped, we could add the node to the cluster in the Servers tool in Windows Admin Center, as shown in Figure 17.
