1. Copy the following node information into a file and save the file at an appropriate location
    -  nodeName: <Name of first node>
    excludeDevice:
    -  <Device path of this disk you want exclude
                               from the Infoscale disk group>
    -  <Device path of this disk you want exclude
                               from the Infoscale disk group>
    fencingDevice:
    -  <Device path of this disk you want add as fencing device>
    -  <Device path of this disk you want add as fencing device>
 -  nodeName: <Name of second node>
    excludeDevice:
    -  <Device path of this disk you want exclude
                               from the Infoscale disk group>
    -  <Device path of this disk you want exclude
                                from the Infoscale disk group>
    fencingDevice:
    -  <Device path of this disk you want add as fencing device>
    -  <Device path of this disk you want add as fencing device>
.
.
.
YOU CAN ADD UPTO 16 NODES
   Note: excludeDeviceandfencingDeviceare optional parameters.
   1. Run the following command to deploy an InfoScale cluster.
   kubectl-infoscale deploy cluster --image-registry <image-registry> --license-edition <Developer/Storage/Enterprise> --cluster-id <Cluster ID> --cluster-name <Cluster Name> --node-info-file <Name of the file with the path>
   Parameters listed in the following table are optional. You can add any of these parameters to the command as --<parameter name > <parameter value>.

   cluster-id	ID of the cluster
   enable-scsi3pr	Enable scsi3pr. The default value is false. You can set it to true as --enable-scsi3pr=true .
   encrypted	Enable encryption at the disk group level. The default value is false. You can set it to true.
   isSharedStorage	You can set it to true if you want to create a disk group by using storage available across nodes. The default value is false.
   sameEncKey	You can set it to false if you want a different encryption key for every Volume. The default value is true.
   kubeconfig	Path to the kubeconfig file which is used for CLI requests
   verbose	Set log level from 0 to 5.

   Review output similar to the following to verify whether the cluster is deployed successfully.
   Step 1/2 started
 Deploying: licence_cr
Step 2/2 started
 Deploying: infoscale_cr
2. Run the following command to verify the status of the cluster and the SDS container pods.

• To view information about the disk group that is created, run the following command.

1. Create and save a new node information file as under. Ensure that it is different from the file you used while creating the cluster.
   -  nodeName: \<Name of node you want to add\>
    excludeDevice:
    -  <Device path of this disk you want exclude
                                from the Infoscale disk group>
    -  <Device path of this disk you want exclude
                                from the Infoscale disk group>
    fencingDevice:
    -  \<Device path of this disk you want add as fencing device\>
    -  \<Device path of this disk you want add as fencing device\>
.
.
.YOU CAN ADD MULTIPLE NODES.
   1. Run the following command to deploy the new nodes.
   kubectl-infoscale scale up node --node-info-file <Name of the new file with the path>
   Review output as under.
   Step 1/2 started
 Deploying: infoscale_cr

1. Run the following command to add storage.

Step 1/2 started
