Adding a new node to the cluster
You can add server and agent nodes to the deployment after installation to increase resourcing.
Important:
Adding nodes is supported in both the single-node evaluation profile and the multi-node HA-ready production profile. However, adding nodes in a single-node environment will not result in a multi-node HA-ready production environment as we do not support the transition between the two deployment profiles.
For instructions on how to download the packages required for adding a new node, see Downloading installation packages.
To add a new node to the cluster, take the following steps:
-
Configure the node to connect to the load balancer. For details, see Configuring the load balancer.
-
Download the installation packages and get them on the machines.
-
Copy the
cluster_config.jsonfrom an existing machines to the new one. -
Validate the prerequisites for the installation.
-
To add a new node, run one of the following commands:
-
To navigate to the installer folder, run the following commands. Replace <VERSION> with the actual installer version.
chmod -R 755 /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite cd /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/<version>/installerchmod -R 755 /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite cd /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/<version>/installer -
To add a new server node, run the following commands:
./bin/uipathctl rke2 install -i ./cluster_config.json -o ./output.json -k -j server --accept-license-agreement./bin/uipathctl rke2 install -i ./cluster_config.json -o ./output.json -k -j server --accept-license-agreement -
To add a new agent node, run the following commands:
./bin/uipathctl rke2 install -i ./cluster_config.json -o ./output.json -k -j agent --accept-license-agreement./bin/uipathctl rke2 install -i ./cluster_config.json -o ./output.json -k -j agent --accept-license-agreement
