This section explains how to add new HPE, Supermicro, or Quiver nodes to an existing cluster.

After you connect and power on your new nodes, Qumulo Core discovers any unconfigured nodes automatically and prompts you to add nodes in the Web UI.

If Qumulo Core doesn’t discover any unconfigured nodes, it displays the message No unconfigured nodes found. If you expect to see nodes, contact the Qumulo Care team.

Qumulo Core configures your new nodes and adds them to your cluster.

On the Cluster page, the Web UI shows the banner Successfully added <N> nodes to the cluster and the total available storage.
