Managing Logical Clusters

Editing a Logical Cluster

• Nodes are added to or removed from a logical cluster by ring.
• At least one ring must be reserved in a logical cluster.
• The ring removed from the logical cluster will be added to the elastic cluster.

1. Log in to the GaussDB(DWS) console. In the navigation pane, choose Dedicated Clusters > Clusters.
2. In the cluster list, click the name of the target cluster. The Cluster Information page is displayed.
3. In the navigation pane, choose Logical Clusters and click Edit in the Operation column of the target cluster.

4. Add a node to the logical cluster by moving the selected ring from the right to the left, or remove a node from the logical cluster by moving the selected ring from the left to the right, and click OK.
5. When adding a node, select offline scale-out.

Restarting Logical Clusters

1. Log in to the GaussDB(DWS) console. In the navigation pane, choose Dedicated Clusters > Clusters.
2. In the cluster list, click the name of the target cluster. The Cluster Information page is displayed.
3. In the navigation pane on the left, switch to the Logical Clusters page, locate the row that contains the logical cluster to be restarted, and click More > Restart in the Operation column.
4. Confirm that all information is correct and click OK.

Scaling Out a Logical Cluster

• Before a scale-out, you need to enable the logical cluster mode and add a logical cluster.
• After scaling out or scaling in a logical cluster, you need to reconfigure the backup policy for full backup. For details, see Configuring an Automated Snapshot Policy.

1. Log in to the GaussDB(DWS) console. In the navigation pane, choose Dedicated Clusters > Clusters.
2. On the displayed Clusters page, choose More > Scale Node > Scale Out.
3. On the scale-out page, select a logical or elastic cluster.
