Viya Installation - add workers

If we have Viya installed can we add workers for additional VMs we want to use?

@SDV,

Sure.

How do you get the software deployed to the new VM's?

Situation. Installed Viya with 5 workers, now we have 5 new VM's that we want to add. I assume you have to make sure the new VM's have all the pre-req's met, and I thought we'd have to get the Viya components installed on them too.

There is a deploy-casworker.yml. It sure would be nice if I could add the new machines to the inventory.ini and run that playbook. This is for Linux not Cloud Foundry.

Question: How would I add additional workers after the initial deployment?

Answer: Add them to the CAS worker group in inventory.ini and re-execute the site.yml playbook

Thanks to SAS Technical Support for the answer.
