3. Select the Work Flow used to grow the cluster.
Two work flows are available:
• Basic deployment work flow—the upper work flow is used for clusters not managed by
HP OneView.
• Enhanced deployment work flow—the lower work flow is used to grow a cluster managed
by HP OneView.
If HP OneView credentials are not configured, this work flow is disabled and a warning
message is displayed. If the selected cluster does not have a reference host, a warning
message is displayed and the enhanced deployment work flow option is disabled.
NOTE: If server provisioning credentials are not configured, both work flows are disabled
and warning messages are displayed for both the work flows.
4. Click Next.
