Addition of nodes to TrueCommand

A cluster volume allows you to share data across multiple systems. This gives you read and write access to all selected disks from any system. This takes place through the Creation of a Storage Pool. This article explains how to create a cluster volume under TrueNAS scale.

Requirements:

• TrueCommand server or VM
• TrueNAS Core / TrueNAS Scale server or VM

Addition of nodes and creation of cluster volume

• 
  This view should be displayed in your TrueCommand web interface when you start up.
• 
  Now click on the [gear icon] in the top right corner, then select the [Dashboard] tab.
• 
  This display should appear. Here, you only have to click on [New System] to add a new system into your cluster.
• 
  In this window, you must enter the IP address or host name of the desired node. You must also assign a nickname and a password. The nickname can also correspond to the host name of the node. Repeat this process until all desired nodes have been added.
• 
  The added nodes should then be displayed in this view and all should be in the started state.
