Expand Up @@ -11,8 +11,19 @@ the cluster to ensure equal usage distribution. While these migration tasks are
designed to be minimal, it is still recommended to expand the cluster at times when the storage cluster isn't under
full utilization.

To start a new storage node, follow the storage node installation according to your chosen set-up:
!!! info
Add storage nodes in **pairs** (i.e., 2, 4, 6, … nodes at a time).
Expansions with an odd number of nodes are **not supported**.

To add a new storage node, follow the installation steps for your chosen deployment method up to the point where nodes are added to the cluster, then continue here:

- [Storage nodes in Kubernetes](../../deployments/kubernetes/index.md)
- [Storage nodes on Linux](../../deployments/install-on-linux/install-sp.md)

After adding the **first** new storage node, the cluster transitions to **IN_EXPANSION** and starts background rebalancing.
Add the remaining node(s) required for the expansion (storage nodes must be added in **pairs**).
Once all newly added nodes are healthy/ready, finalize the expansion:

```bash title="Finalize cluster expansion"
{{ cliname }} complete-expand <CLUSTER_ID>
```
