Trying to scale up jira pod to 2 from 1 but 2nd node is not configuring automatically

[vaddhi raghunath]

I am using helm charts https://atlassian.github.io/data-center-helm-charts/userguide/INSTALLATION/ to deploy jira in k8s . trying to scale up my pods to 2 ...since I enabled clustering to true .. I am thinking the 2nd should automatically fetch all configurations from 1st node .. but that is not happening.. Any other setting need to be enable inorder to make the clustering work ? Thanks!!

Have you set up a shared homedir across the nodes? There's quite a bit of configuration that needs to be done (both within Jira, but also on the network side for load-balancing, etc.) and it doesn't sound like you've done any of that.

This article details how to set up a Jira cluster to begin with:

This article details how you add a node to an existing Jira cluster, once the cluster is set up (if you want to go from 2 nodes to 3):
