If you did not install MC with an RPM, see one of the following:
-
For Management Console on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using a CloudFormation Template, see Creating an Eon Mode database in AWS with MC or Creating an Enterprise Mode database in AWS with MC.
-
For Google Cloud Platform (GCP), see Using the MC to provision and create an Eon Mode database in GCP.
-
To provision a new database and cluster on-premises, see Creating a cluster using MC.
- Connect to Management Console, and log in.
- On the home page, click View Infrastructure to go to the Database and Cluster View. This tab provides a summary of your environment, clusters, and databases.
- If the Database row displays a database running on the cluster that you want to add a new database to, select the database and click Stop. Wait until the database status is Stopped.
- In the Clusters row, click the existing cluster that you want to create a database on. If a database is already running on it, you must stop the database.
- Click Create Database in the window to start the database creation wizard.
- Follow the steps in the wizard to successfully create a database.
You can close the web browser during the process and sign back in to MC later. The creation process continues unless an unexpected error occurs.
