After installing Rhino on a machine, you can create a new node by executing the $RHINO_HOME/create-node.sh shell script.

When a node-NNN directory is created, the default configuration for the node is copied from $RHINO_HOME/etc/default. Ideally any configuration changes should be made in the etc/defaults directory before creating new node directories (and made at the same time in any existing node-NNN directories). See also Configuring the Installation.

Warning Once a node has been created, its configuration cannot be transferred to another machine. It must be created on the host on which it will run.

In the following example, node 101 is created:

$ /home/user/rhino/create-node.sh
Chose a Node ID (integer 1..255)
Node ID [101]: 101
Creating new node /home/user/rhino/node-101
Deferring database creation. This should be performed before starting Rhino for the first time.
Run the "/home/user/rhino/node-101/init-management-db.sh" script to create the database.
Created Rhino node in /home/user/rhino/node-101.

You can also use a node-id argument with create-node.sh, for example:

$ /home/user/rhino/create-node.sh 101
Creating new node /home/user/rhino/node-101
Deferring database creation. This should be performed before starting Rhino for the first time.
Run the "/home/user/rhino/node-101/init-management-db.sh" script to create the database.
