Connecting to Other Nodes (node-b and node-c)

1. Ensure that the communication path is configured between nodes:

If this is not displayed see the following steps below:

1. Open a new terminal
2. Run the command: cat /etc/hosts

This should display the ip address as well as the node name of all nodes being connected. Following the current example, it should display this when ran on node-a:

10.20.1.10 node-a
10.20.2.10 node-b

This is required in the “hosts” file on each node, if these are not added already, please do so as described above.

2. Select “Operations” then “Create Communication Path” (Under “Communication Path” on the left side of the GUI).

1. From this prompt, you will select the current node you are on (node-a) which will allow you to populate the Local IP Address from the dropdown button.
2. Then click “Add A New Server” and type in the hostname of the node you are connecting to and click “Confirm” to the right of this text box. This will now allow you to populate the Local IP Address from the dropdown button below.
3. Lastly, click “Confirm” in the bottom right of this prompt and “Create” the new communication path.

3. Confirm the successful creation of the communication path

(Note: Here you can also create another communication path if connecting to further nodes by following the same steps 1-3)
