 ## Objective
 
-Nutanix clusters are scalable. You can add nodes to an existing cluster.
-
-**This guide will show you how to add a node and ensure it works properly.**
+Nutanix clusters on OVHcloud are scalable. You can now **add (scale out)** or **remove (scale in)** nodes directly from the OVHcloud Control Panel or the OVHcloud API.
 
 > [!warning]
 > OVHcloud provides services for which you are responsible, with regard to their configuration and management. You are therefore responsible for ensuring they function correctly.
 >
-> This guide is designed to assist you in common tasks as much as possible. Nevertheless, we recommend that you contact the [OVHcloud Professional Services team](https://www.ovhcloud.com/de/professional-services/) or a [specialist service provider](https://partner.ovhcloud.com/de/directory/) if you have difficulties or doubts concerning the administration, usage or implementation of services on a server.

 ## Requirements
 
-- A Nutanix cluster in your OVHcloud account
-- Access to the [OVHcloud Control Panel](https://www.ovh.com/auth/?action=gotomanager&from=https://www.ovh.de/&ovhSubsidiary=de)
-- Access to the [OVHcloud API](https://api.ovh.com/).
-- You must be connected to the cluster via Prism Central
-- A ready-to-configure physical server added to the OVHcloud Control Panel
-
-## Technical information
-
-The **Hosted Private Cloud solution powered by Nutanix** enables you to have between 3 and 18 nodes on the same cluster.
+- A Nutanix cluster hosted in your OVHcloud account
+- Access to the [OVHcloud Control Panel](/links/manager)
+- Access to the Prism Central administration interface
+- Access to the [OVHcloud API](/links/api).
 
-It is possible to add several nodes when expanding the cluster.
+## Technical Information
 
-The nodes to be added must have the same version of **AOS** as the existing cluster.
+- Your cluster must have between **3 and 15 nodes**
+- All new nodes must run the **same AOS version** as the existing cluster
 
 ## Instructions
 
-### Checking node delivery.
-
-Log in to your [OVHcloud Control Panel](https://www.ovh.com/auth/?action=gotomanager&from=https://www.ovh.de/&ovhSubsidiary=de) and check that an additional node appears in the Nutanix cluster.
-
-![New Node](images/scaleup1.png){.thumbnail}
-
-You can also check this via the OVHcloud API.
-
-Use the following API call:
-
-> [!api]
->
-> @api {v1} /nutanix GET /nutanix/{serviceName}
->
-
-- `serviceName`: enter the cluster name
-
-![New Node via APIV6](images/scaleup2.png){.thumbnail}
-
-The new node appears with 0.0.0.0 IPs.
-
-### 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.
-
-At the end of the installation, you will receive an email confirming that the node is ready.
-
-<pre class="bgwhite"><code>
-Dear Customer,
-
-Your server has just been installed.
-
-You must now add it back to your Nutanix cluster by connecting to Prism Central: https://cluster-xxxx.nutanix.ovh.net:9440
