# Maintain a Distributed Environment

After you set up an initial node and one or more additional nodes for a distributed installation, you can perform all subsequent configuration and updates from the initial node, using the TSM CLI, or from any computer using a browser and the TSM Web interface.

When you install additional nodes, they are added by computer name. If the computer name of a node changes, you will need to remove and reinstall the node. For details on removing a node, see [Remove a Node](https://help.tableau.com/v0.0/server-linux/en-us/distrib_worker_remove.htm).

You can monitor the status of the Tableau Server cluster on the TSM Status page. See [View Server Process Status](https://help.tableau.com/v0.0/server-linux/en-us/service_viewstatus.htm) for details.

Additional actions you may need to maintain your distributed environment include:
