Elastic High Performance Computing:AddExistedNodes

Last Updated:Aug 28, 2026

Adds one or more existing ECS instances as compute nodes to a specified cluster.

Operation description

  • The compute nodes to add must be in the Stopped state.

  • After the compute nodes are added to the cluster, their operating systems are replaced with the one specified by ImageId.

  • The hostnames of the compute nodes must differ from those of existing nodes in the cluster. Otherwise, the operation fails.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

ClusterId

string

Yes

The ID of the cluster.

You can call the ListClusters operation to query the cluster ID.

ehpc-hz-FYUr32****

ImageId

string

Yes

The image ID for the compute nodes. The image must meet the following requirements:

  • The image OS must match the OS of existing cluster nodes. For example, if the cluster nodes run CentOS, you can select only a CentOS image.

Note

If you add nodes to a hybrid cloud cluster that supports multiple operating systems, you can select a Windows Server image or a CentOS image when the operating system of the cluster nodes is Windows.

  • The major version of the image must match that of the cluster image. For example, if the cluster image is CentOS 7.x, the compute node image must also be CentOS 7.x.

You can call the ListImages and ListCustomImages operations to obtain the image ID.
