    Deploying a tie breaker node to an existing UnityVSA HA

    Deploy a tie breaker node to an existing UnityVSA HA using the GUI

    Procedure
    1. Launch the UnityVSA HA Deployment Utility, and select Deploy a new Tie Breaker Node to an existing Dual-SP UnityVSA deployment.
    2. Provide the IP address and login credentials for the vCenter service.
      The deployment utility automatically discovers the UnityVSA HA managed by the specified vCenter.
    3. Select the UnityVSA for which to deploy a Tie Breaker Node (TBN).
    4. Enter the name of the TBN VM, and then select the template, host, and datastore to use for the TBN.
    5. Review your choices and click Deploy.
