4.6. Heartbeat

4.6.1. Adding a New Heartbeat Node

Provided you specified autojoin any in ha.cf, adding a new node is as simple as installing heartbeat and copying ha.cf and authkeys from an existing node.
If you don’t want to use autojoin, then after setting up ha.cf and authkeys, you must use hb_addnode before starting the new node.
