Configure Controller Node Pool

{{ $t('productDocDetail.updateTime') }}: 2026-01-05

Description

In the HCI cluster, the node has the roles of control node and non-control node. The control node can provide cluster management and computing, network, storage, and other functions, such as virtual machine scheduling, task scheduling, etc. The non-control node can provide computing, network, storage, and other functions. The controller node pool is set to achieve high availability of cluster management nodes. When the control node fails, other nodes can be selected as the control node in the controller node pool to realize high availability switching and ensure the normal use of cluster management functions.

Precautions

  1. For a cluster size of more than 24 nodes, it is recommended to use the hardware with good performance as the cluster controller.
  1. The cluster supports up to three control nodes.
  2. The cluster controller can only switch in the control node pool. If all the control nodes fail, there is no cluster controller.

Steps

  1. Navigate to Nodes and click Configure Controller Node Pool to add a node into the controller node pool.

  1. Add the control node into the control node pool and set three active nodes.
