 Now you can connect to the management node from another machine using its ip address.
 
+## How to add more storage nodes
+Currently, `docker-compose.yml` provides 2 services that act as storage nodes: `storage1` and `storage2`.
+
+The main idea behind adding additional storage nodes is to utilize BeeGFS's RAID feature.
+
+The actual stored data is split between them and can be found by these paths:
+```
+/home/<user>/beegfs_storage1/chunks/
+/home/<user>/beegfs_storage2/chunks/
+```
+
+To add additional nodes you should simply add an additional storage service into `docker-compose.yml`. However, there are several config parametes that should be modified:
+
+- the storage service name (i.e. storage3)
+- the hostname (i.e. node05)
+- the aliases
+- the path on the host for data to be stored in (i.e. ~/beegfs_storage3:/data)
+
