=== HOWTO: add a machine to the cluster ===

*This small tutorial will list the steps to add a machine to the cluster
*The example given here is a dcache headnode in the shadow cluster running on a virtual machine

==== Quattor ====
*In quattor following templates need to be adapted
**/CBv6/cfg/clusters/iihe-glite-shadow/profiles/profile_dcache2-shadow.iihe.ac.be
**Define type of machine
**/CBv6/cfg/clusters/iihe-glite-shadow/private/dcache2-shadow.iihe.ac.be
**Placeholders for the machine keys
**/CBv6/cfg/sites/iihe-shadow/site/os_version_db.tpl
**Define OS version to install on the machine
<pre>
escape("dcache2-shadow.iihe.ac.be"),"sl550-x86_64",
</pre>
**/CBv6/cfg/sites/iihe-shadow/site/databases.tpl
**Add an IP address for the machine:
**'''Warning:''' Use nslookup and ping to see if this ip exists in the DNS and/if it is pingable
<pre>
escape("dcache2-shadow.iihe.ac.be"),"193.190.YYY.XXX",
escape("dcache2-shadow.wn.iihe.ac.be"),"192.168.YYY.XXX",
</pre>
**Point the machine to the hardware
<pre>
escape("dcache2-shadow.iihe.ac.be"),"hardware/machine/Virtual/virtual_kvm_dcache2-shadow",
</pre>
**/CBv6/cfg/sites/ulb-vub/hardware/machine/Virtual/virtual_kvm_argus.tpl
**Change the name and add a unique MAC address (or the real MAC address in case of a physical machine)
*Then compile the templates in your local workspace
*If build successful, add/update the changes to the repository

==== Add the ip addresses of the machine to the DNS ====
*This should be done as explained here [[GridAdminSurvivalGuide#HowtoaddanewmachineintheDNS]]

==== Machine certificates ====
*This page explains howto request certificates for the machine [[UpdateCertificates]]

==== Setup virtual machine host ====
*To setup a virtual machine check here [[VirtWithKVM1]]
