Add host in the existing Cluster

[HS84]

we are currently running 2 node cluster on each site with link mode and now we are planning add one new host in the existing cluster A of First site and later we ill add one host on the second site

it has same hardware configuration and /storage. 

First site - Cluster A ( 2 Node)

Second site - Cluster A (2 Node)

each site has separate Arbiter 

My question: will there any issue if we add new host in the cluster, i run the pre-deployment check it's showing all pass

Thanks for reaching out.

We might need to know which OS is the Host being added to.

Hello @HS84 

There is no problem to add an additional node to the cluster. Is this  a new node? 

Just make sure you are deploying it with the same software version the current nodes in that cluster are. It looks like you are running a very old version of software 3.7.1 (please confirm). If that is the case I would suggest first upgrading both clusters to the latest version (it might take at least 2 or 3 upgrades to get there) and then add the host with the newest version.
