Creating a database using MC

If you installed the Management Console using an RPM, there is a wizard to help you create a new database on an existing Vertica cluster.

1. Connect to Management Console, and log in.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Click Create Database in the window to start the database creation wizard.
6. 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.
