<p class="MsoNormal">A few quick questions on Edge Cloud setups, both assuming AIO duplex configuration:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo3">If either controller goes out of service (temporary or permanent), would it still be possible to add new hosts to the system (of any workload)?<br>
<span style="color:red">[Greg] Yes you can still add new worker/compute nodes if only a single controller is available.</span><o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="a">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0in;mso-list:l3 level2 lfo3">
Would it require a new controller to be brought online?<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
</ol>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="2" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo3">On an edge cloud, since an OAM ip range is specified, is it possible to have more than 2 controllers for extra redundancy? For example, having 3 controllers ready, and if one were
to go down permanently, all control would be handed over to the other two?<br>
<span style="color:red">[Greg] Nope. Currently the max number of controllers is 2.<br>
There have been some discussions about supporting a more traditional 3x node controller cluster. But that is not currently being worked on.<br>
