-### Node installation.
-
-To install the new node, you must change the cluster properties by making a `PUT` on the cluster.
-
-To do this, use the following API call:
-
-> [!api]
->
-> @api {v1} /nutanix PUT /nutanix/{serviceName}
->
-
-> [!warning]
-> Make sure to untick the `redeployCluster` box.
-
-Tick the `scaleUp` box.
-Enter the following information below **nodes**:
-
-- **ahvip** : IP address of the hypervisor of the new node.
-- **cvmip** : IP address of the CVM of the new node.
-
-> [!warning]
-> These IP addresses must not already be used and must match your addressing plan.
-
-You must also complete the deployment version. It may not correspond to the current version of your cluster. This is not an issue as the node will be modified by the Nutanix installer when adding it to the cluster via Prism Element.
-
-![PUT scaleUp via APIV6](images/scaleup3.png){.thumbnail}
-
-Click `Execute`{.action} to send the request.
-
-In the "Result" tab, the new node appears with the new IP address.
