# Attach-node Command

The `attach-node` CLI command binds a specified node or nodes to an **existing cluster** as either a Master or Worker node.

## Syntax Example

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Javascript" %}

```javascript
pf9ctl attach-node
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

All Available Commands and Flags

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Javascript" %}

```javascript
#pf9ctl attach-node --help

Attach nodes to existing cluster. One a time, multiple workers but only one master can be attached

Usage:
  pf9ctl attach-node [flags] cluster-name

Flags:
  -h, --help                help for attach-node
  -m, --master-ip strings   master node ip address
  -w, --worker-ip strings   worker node ip address

Global Flags:
      --verbose   print verbose logs
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important**

We have seen users who try to attach either a master or worker nodes to a cluster, without first creating a (master/worker) type cluster. This can lead to errors which can be confusing. Please ensure a cluster is up and running before attempting to attach a node.
