Azure Stack HCI - adding NIC to Network ATC Intent
Hello fellow Azure Stack HCI Admins,
I currently have a compute_management Intent for my two node switchless cluster with only one pNIC per node (port1) assigned. I now want to add port2 of each node to the intent for redundancy. (See image)
I found this command-set on learn:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-stack/hci/manage/manage-network-atc?tabs=21H2&pivots=azure-stack-hci
Get-NetIntentStatus -ClusterName <YourClusterName>
Update-NetIntentAdapter -IntentName <YourIntentName> -AdapterName pNIC2
Get-NetIntentStatus -ClusterName <YourClusterName>
Is that the correct command set to archive that? Or is there another way to do so?
I am a bit anxious on running those commands because I already have workloads deployed on that cluster and I don't want to break it.
Thanks in advance! :)
PS: I chose only one NIC per node because at the time of deployment I only had one ToR switch available.
Yes, it's correct :)

To be sure to avoid network outage i suggest you to move all workload on the second node and put the first node in maintenance mode. If all works fine you can continue on second node.
