Microsoft HPC Pack: Node Deployment

This section provides information about additional cluster deployment options and scenarios for adding nodes to the HPC Pack cluster

In this section

Title Description
Adding Nodes to a Cluster The topics in this section provide basic procedures and options to add domain-joined compute nodes and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) broker nodes that are managed by your HPC cluster. You can deploy nodes from bare metal, add preconfigured nodes, or add nodes by importing a node XML file.
Get started with on-premises Linux compute nodes This guide contains information about adding on-premises Linux compute nodes to your HPC cluster.
Burst to Azure Batch with Microsoft HPC Pack This guide contains information about extending (“bursting”) your HPC cluster to include Azure Batch pools as compute resources.
Burst to Azure Worker Instances with Microsoft HPC Pack This guide contains information about extending (“bursting”) your HPC cluster to include Azure worker role instances (Azure nodes) as compute resources.
Adding Workstation Nodes to a Windows HPC Cluster This guide provides step-by-step procedures for adding computers to your HPC cluster that are running the Windows operating system but are not managed by your cluster. These computers are added as workstation nodes, and you can use them to run cluster jobs.
Adding Unmanaged Servers to a Windows HPC Cluster This topic summarizes the requirements and steps for adding servers for cycle harvesting that are running the Windows Server operating system to your HPC cluster.
Move Cluster Nodes to a New Head Node This topic provides information about moving compute resources from one head node to a newly installed head node.
