Google Cloud Platform in MC
Management Console (MC) supports cluster, subcluster, and node actions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Provision, monitor, and revive clusters
You can use MC to provision an Eon Mode database cluster on GCP. For details, see Provisioning an Eon Mode cluster and database on GCP in MC.
MC provides specific resources for monitoring database clusters on GCP. For details, see Managing an Eon Mode database in the cloud.
You can revive a stopped Eon Mode database on GCP using MC. For details, see Reviving an Eon Mode database on GCP in MC.
Managing your cluster in MC
-
On the MC home page, click View Infrastructure. MC displays the Database and Cluster View. This view shows your infrastructure platform, cluster, and database.
-
On the left side of the screen next to Clusters, click the square for the cluster you want to manage. MC displays a window with your cluster name, an information summary, and several buttons.
-
Click Manage. The Cluster page displays.
-
On the Cluster page, you can view the following information:
-
The instances in your cluster in visual format.
-
The status of each instance, whether it is running.
-
The private and public IP address for each cluster instance.
-
The Vertica version that is running, your region, and your instance type in the Cluster pane.
-
Cluster actions on GCP in MC
On the Cluster page, you can perform the following cluster actions:
-
Start Cluster: Starts the instances, then starts the database. For Eon Mode databases, MC repopulates the nodes with data from the storage account container.
-
Stop Cluster: Stops the nodes in the database, then stops their cloud instances.
-
Advanced > Terminate: Stops the database, then terminates the cloud instances.
Note
If a GCP instance has a local SSD attached, Google does not allow you to stop the instance. If you do shut down an instance with a local SSD through the guest operating system, you will not be able to restart the instance, and the data on the local SSD will be lost.Subcluster management
You can add, Scale Up, Scale Down, remove, and terminate subclusters with MC. For details, see the following:
Node management
You add or delete nodes by scaling subclusters up or down. You can also start, stop, and restart nodes. For details, see the following:
- Add nodes to a running cluster on the cloud
- Starting, stopping, and restarting nodes in MC
- Node action rules in MC
Restrictions
-
Subclusters are supported in Eon Mode only, not in Enterprise Mode.
-
Node actions are not supported in MC on GCP.
