Adding Nodes

Precautions

• Adding nodes may lead to the decrease of operations per second (OPS). Perform this operation during off-peak hours.
• You can only add nodes when the instance status is Available or Checking restoration.
• Instances that one or more nodes are added to cannot be deleted.
• You can also delete nodes as required. For details, see Deleting Nodes.
• Currently, a maximum of 60 nodes are supported. To obtain more nodes, choose Service Tickets > Create Service Ticket in the upper right corner of the console and contact customer service.
