Adding a New System to the Cluster

If you need to add a new computer supported by OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2 to an existing OpenVMS Cluster configuration, HP supports two options, listed in the following preferred order:

Upgrade the entire cluster to OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2 and add the new computer as a member.

If you need to keep some systems in the cluster running an older version of OpenVMS Alpha, you must upgrade a system disk in the cluster to OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2 using the rolling upgrade procedure. Then boot the new computer into the cluster using that upgraded system disk.
