Managing database clusters

Management Console allows you to monitor multiple databases on one or more clusters at the same time. MC administrators can see and manage all databases and clusters monitored by MC, while non-administrative MC users see only databases on which they have been assigned the appropriate access levels.

Depending on your access level, you can use the MC to perform the following database and cluster-related management operations:

• Create an Eon Mode and Enterprise Mode database.

• Install an Eon Mode and Enterprise Mode database in a cloud or on-premises environment.

• Create an empty database in an existing cluster.

• Import an existing database or cluster into the MC interface.

• Start the database, unless it is already running.

• Stop the database, if no users are connected.

• Remove the database from the MC interface.

  Note

  Remove does not drop the database. A Remove operation leaves it in the cluster, hidden from the UI. To add the database back to the MC interface, import it using the IP address of any cluster node. A Remove operation also stops metrics gathering on that database, but statistics gathering automatically resumes after you re-import.

• Drop the database when you are certain that no users are connected. Drop is a permanent action that drops the database from the cluster.

Database clusters in the cloud

When you use the Management Console to create a database or cluster on a supported cloud provider, you can perform the following operations on individual machines or the entire cluster:

• Start

• Stop

• Revive

• Reboot

• Terminate
