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:

  1. Create or provision a new node, and configure the disks and open ports according to the following: Configuring the machines.
  2. Configure the node in the load balancer as follows: Configuring the load balancer.
  3. Copy the installer package available at /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite in any of the server nodes.
  4. For an online installation, run one of the commands below.
    • To navigate to the installer folder, run the following commands. Replace {VERSION} with the actual installer version. Example: replace {VERSION} with 2021.10.3 if you are using version 2021.10.3 of Automation Suite.

      sudo su -
      chmod -R 755 /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite
      cd /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/online_installer_{VERSION}sudo su -
      chmod -R 755 /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite
      cd /opt/UiPathAutomationSuite/online_installer_{VERSION}
    • To add a new server node, run the following commands:

      ./install-uipath.sh -i ./cluster_config.json -o ./output.json -k -j server --accept-license-agreement./install-uipath.sh -i ./cluster_config.json -o ./output.json -k -j server --accept-license-agreement
