Step I: Add worker nodes

Add the worker nodes back to the cluster and their redundancy groups. Perform these steps for all worker nodes that are supposed to be in the cluster.

Step A: Add worker nodes to the cluster

Add the worker nodes back to the cluster.

To add nodes to the cluster

1. On the primary Conductor Live node's web interface, go to the Cluster page and choose Nodes.

2. On the Nodes page, choose Add Node.

3. In the Add Nodes to Cluster dialog, do one of the following:

   • In Node IP Address/s, enter the IP address or range of IP addresses for multiple nodes and choose Add.

   • If your network has a DNS server, search for the node by its hostname:

     1. In Lookup Node IP Address, enter the hostname of the node that you're adding. You set the hostname during installation of the node.

     2. Choose the search icon.

     3. When Conductor Live displays the IP address that corresponds to the hostname, choose the plus sign beside the address to add it to the Node IP address list.

     4. Choose Add.

4. Still in the Add Nodes to Cluster dialog, add each node that will be a part of the cluster.

5. Verify that the nodes are added to the list on the Nodes screen and the correct information is shown:

   • The Status is Online.

   • The Elemental Product is the correct type of node, either Conductor Live or AWS Elemental Live.

6. If any nodes contain SDI cards, import the devices so that the Conductor Live node knows about them. Do the following:

   1. On a node that as SDI cards, choose the downward triangle and select Import Devices.

      Conductor Live detects the device and adds its configuration to the Conductor Live database.

   2. Import the devices for all nodes that use SDI cards.

   If you don't import the devices, they won't appear in the Conductor Live web interface. You won't be able to specify these devices as video sources in a channel.

Step B: Add worker nodes to redundancy groups

Add the workers to their redundancy groups.

For more information about adding workers to redundancy groups, see Add Worker Node Redundancy in the AWS Elemental Conductor Live Configuration Guide.

To add workers to redundancy groups

1. On the primary Conductor Live node's web interface, go to the Cluster page.

2. On the Cluster page, choose Redundancy.

3. In the navigation bar, choose the Elemental Live redundancy group.

4. On the Active Nodes tab, choose Add to Active.

5. In the Nodes field, select the nodes to add to the group.

6. Choose Add.

7. On the Backup Nodes tab, choose Add to Backup Nodes.

8. In the Nodes field, select the nodes to add to the group. Make sure that you add nodes in order, starting with the reserve node with the highest priority.

9. Choose Add.

10. If you have multiple Elemental Live redundancy groups, repeat this procedure on each group, and then go to the next step.

Step C: Add channel assignments

Assign channels back to the nodes.

To assign channels to the workers

1. On the primary Conductor Live node's web interface, go to the Channels page.

2. Choose Edit(pencil icon) on a channel.

3. On the Edit Channel page, in Node, choose the node that this channel will use.

4. Save the channel. Repeat this procedure to edit the remaining channels to have the correct node assignment.

5. When all of the channels have node assignments, go to the next step.
