Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.

Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |

Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Add worker nodes
Add worker nodes via the Management Portal as follows:
Note You can add nodes manually instead. For details, see How to add worker nodes by using the install.properties file.
-
Launch the Management Portal from a supported web browser:
https://
<external_access_host>
:5443<external_access_host>
is the fully qualified domain name of the host which you specified asEXTERNAL_ACCESS_HOST
in theinstall.properties
file during the Container Deployment Foundation installation. Usually, this is the master node's FQDN. - Log in with the user name admin, and the password cloud.
- The password must be changed after you logged in for the first time. Follow the instructions to change the password.
- Go to ADMINISTRATION > Nodes.
-
In the Nodes area, click + ADD.
Enter the host name or IP address of the node, the name of the root user, and the password of the specified user. Optionally, specify the
THINPOOL_DEVICE
and/or theFLANNEL_IFACE
.THINPOOL_DEVICE
: specifies the path to the Docker devicemapper storage driver.FLANNEL_IFACE
: specifies the interface for the Docker inter-host communication as a single IPv4 address or interface name. This setting is used when the worker nodes have more than one network adapter.Click ADD to remotely install the extra node.

As an alternative to using the Management Portal GUI, you can also add worker nodes by using the install.properties
file as follows:
Note This step is not required if you already added nodes using the Management Portal.
- Make sure you have already downloaded the installation package to a temporary directory on all worker nodes. For details, see Unzip the ITOM CDF installation package.
- Unzip the zip file on all nodes.
-
On each worker node, run the following command to initialize the environment variables:
cd <foundation_temp_dir>
source /etc/profile
-
Copy the client certificate files (
ca.crt
,client.crt
, andclient.key
) from the<K8S_home>/ssl
directory of the first master node to any local directory on each worker node (for example: the/tmp
directory).The default
<K8S_home>
directory is/opt/kubernetes/ssl
. -
Copy the
install.properties
file from the first master node to all worker nodes into the<foundation_temp_dir>
directory. -
On each worker node, open the
install.properties
file under the<foundation_temp_dir>
directory, and set the following parameters to the corresponding file paths (for example/tmp
):CLIENT_CA_FILE=/tmp/ca.crt
CLIENT_CERT_FILE=/tmp/client.crt
CLIENT_KEY_FILE=/tmp/client.key -
On each worker node, run the following command:
./install
Tip You can run the installation script on the worker nodes in parallel.
