	Now that the single-node grid is formed, we can now add all the additional QuantaStor systems using '''Add System''' button in the ''Storage System Grid'' toolbar to add them one-by-one to the Grid. You can also right-click on the '''Storage Grid''', and choose '''Add System to Grid...''' from the menu to add additional node.

	Once completed, all QuantaStor systems in the Grid can be managed as a unit (single pane of glass), by logging into any system via a web browser. It is not necessary to connect to the master node, but you may see web management is faster when managing the grid from the master node.

	QuantaStor system to system communication typically works itself out automatically.

	For multi-node deployments, you should configure the networking on a per-system basis before creating the ''Grid'', as it makes the process faster and simpler. Assuming the network ports are configured with unique static IPs for each system (aka node), press the '''Create Grid''' button in the ''Storage System Grid'' tool bar to create an initial grid of one server. You may also create the management grid by right-clicking on the "Storage System" icon in the tree view and choosing '''Create Storage Grid...'''.

The primary system has an additional role, in that it acts as a conduit for intercommunication of Grid state updates across all nodes within the Grid. This additional role has minimal CPU and memory impact.		This first system will be designated as the initial primary/master node for the Grid.
