Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Feature: The node scaleup workflow in the quick installer has been moved out of the install subcommand and into a separate subcommand. Reason: Users reported that having the scaleup workflow inside install was confusing. Result: Scaleup now lives in it's own space and users can access it directly.

Description Eric Rich 2016-05-25 13:09:54 UTC
Description of problem:

Make it more clear when we say:

> By default the installer only adds new nodes to an installed environment.

> Do you want to (1) only add additional nodes or (2) reinstall the existing hosts potentially erasing any custom changes?:

In short the text here is confusing. We might want to remove this in favor of "add" or "extend" operation as a top level command with atomic-openshift-installer (install, uninstall, upgrade).

Comment 1 Eric Rich 2016-05-25 13:11:16 UTC
Should we even ask for this on a re-run of the installer? 
Wouldn't 2 always be assumed?

a-o-i: Separate install and scaleup workflows

In order to simplify the quick installer logic, this moves
the scaleup workflow into its own subcommand.

Fixes: Bug 1339621

Comment 7 liujia 2016-10-28 10:12:56 UTC
Version:
atomic-openshift-utils-3.4.13-1.git.0.ff1d588.el7.noarch

Steps:
1.check option changes
# atomic-openshift-installer --help

2.trigger an scaleup with quick installer in an installed env
# atomic-openshift-installer scaleup

3.trigger an install with quick installer in an installed env
# atomic-openshift-installer install

Result:
1.the add nodes workflow has been splitted to s sub-command
Commands:
  install
  scaleup
  uninstall
  upgrade
2.it will install new node for scaleup the cluster successfully.

3.it will hint user for an mixed env and warn user to continue for reinstall:
input(n), it will exit.
input(y), it will go to reinstall workflow and run install playbook again for the cluster.

Now re-install will fail for another issue(bug-1389701), but for this bug, i think it has been clearly splitted.
