Adding an SAP Mobile Server Node to an Existing Cluster

After your SAP Mobile Platform cluster installation is completed, you can add another SAP Mobile Server node at any time.

Prerequisites

Install SAP Mobile Platform version 2.3 in either a simple load-balancing cluster or a Microsoft Failover Cluster.
Test that the existing cluster and all components are functioning properly.
Bring all nodes in the existing cluster online, and ensure that the passive data tier in a Microsoft Failover Cluster is in standby mode.

Preparing for Installation
Ensure that the host on which you are installing SAP Mobile Platform is ready for you to begin the installation.
Entering License Information
Start the SAP Mobile Platform Runtime installer and enter license information.
Selecting Installation Options
Specify the installation directory, installation type, SAP Mobile Platform components, and additional installation options.
Completing the Installation
Review the installation summary and launch the installation process.
Upgrading the New Node to Your Current SAP Mobile Platform Version
If you have already upgraded the existing cluster nodes to a support package or patch level later than 2.3, you must upgrade the new node to that same support package or patch level.
Verifying the Installation
Before proceeding, verify that key services are functioning, you can log in to SAP Control Center, and from SAP Control Center you can see the properties of the node you just installed.
