Scale a node pool

You can manually scale a node pool for a hosted cluster on OpenShift Virtualization by using the oc scale command.

Procedure

Run the following command:

NODEPOOL_NAME=${CLUSTER_NAME}-work
NODEPOOL_REPLICAS=5

$ oc scale nodepool/$NODEPOOL_NAME --namespace clusters \
  --replicas=$NODEPOOL_REPLICAS

After a few moments, enter the following command to see the status of the node pool:

$ oc --kubeconfig $CLUSTER_NAME-kubeconfig get nodes
