Add-HpcNodeSet
Add-HpcNodeSet
Syntax
Parameter Set: Default Add-HpcNodeSet -Quantity <Int32> -Size <String> -Template <HpcNodeTemplate> [-Scheduler <String> ] [ <CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
Adds the specified number of Windows Azure nodes with the specified virtual machine size to the HPC cluster by using the specified node template.
Parameters
-Quantity<Int32>
Specifies the number of Windows Azure nodes that you want to add to the HPC cluster. You can specify a value from 1 through 1000.

-Scheduler<String>
Specifies the host name or IP address of the head node for the cluster to which you want to add Windows Azure nodes. The value must be a valid computer name or IP address. If you do not specify the Scheduler parameter, this cmdlet uses the scheduler on the head node that the CCP_SCHEDULER environment variable specifies. To set this environment variable, run the following cmdlet:
Set-Content Env:CCP_SCHEDULER <head_node_name>

-Size<String>
Specifies a predefined virtual machine size of the Windows Azure nodes that you want to create. The size of the virtual machine determines the number of CPU cores, the memory capacity, and the local file system size of each node.
The possible values for this parameter are Small, Medium, Large, and ExtraLarge. For more information about virtual machine sizes, see Configuring Virtual Machine Size. (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=200493)

-Template<HpcNodeTemplate>
Specifies an HpcNodeTemplate object that corresponds to the node template that you want to associate with the Windows Azure nodes that you want to add to the HPC cluster.
The node template that you specify must be a Windows Azure node template. An error occurs if you specify a different type of node template.

<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters
Inputs
The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.
- An HpcNodeTemplate object.
Outputs
The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.
- One or more HpcNode objects.
Notes
-
To add Windows Azure nodes of different sizes, run this command separately for each size.
-
All of the nodes that you add to an HPC cluster by using a specific Windows Azure node template define a set of nodes that are deployed and managed together in Windows Azure when you start the nodes. This set includes nodes that you add later by using the same node template, including nodes of different sizes. You can only start, stop, or delete the entire set of nodes, and not individual nodes.
-
This cmdlet was introduced in HPC Pack 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1). It is not supported in previous versions.
Examples
EXAMPLE 1
Gets an HpcNodeTemplate object for the node template names MyWorkerNodeTemplate, then adds 500 large worker nodes to the HPC cluster by using that node template.
PS C:\>Get-HpcNodeTemplate -Name MyWorkerNodeTemplate | Add-HpcNodeSet -Quantity 500 -Size Large
