Creating a Custom Cluster
The first step of using MRS is to create a cluster. This section describes how to create a cluster on the Custom Config tab of the MRS management console.
You can create an IAM user or user group on the IAM management console and grant it specific operation permissions, to perform refined resource management after registering an account. For details, see Creating an MRS User <mrs_01_0453>
.
Log in to the MRS console.
Click Create Cluster. The page for creating a cluster is displayed.
Note
When creating a cluster, pay attention to quota notification. If a resource quota is insufficient, increase the resource quota as prompted and create a cluster.
Click the Custom Config tab.
Configure cluster information by referring to
Software Configurations <mrs_01_0513__section48591411155214>
and click Next.Configure cluster information by referring to
Hardware Configurations <mrs_01_0513__section1055918551>
and click Next.Set advanced options by referring to
(Optional) Advanced Configuration <mrs_01_0513__section15766698552>
and click Apply Now.If Kerberos authentication is enabled for a cluster, check whether Kerberos authentication is required. If yes, click Continue. If no, click Back to disable Kerberos authentication and then create a cluster.
Note
For any doubt about the pricing, click Pricing details in the lower left corner.
Click Back to Cluster List to view the cluster status.
For details about cluster status during creation, see the description of the status parameters in
Table 1 <en-us_topic_0012808230__table3950169215120>
.It takes some time to create a cluster. The initial status of the cluster is Starting. After the cluster has been created successfully, the cluster status becomes Running.
On the MRS management console, a maximum of 10 clusters can be concurrently created, and a maximum of 100 clusters can be managed.
Software Configurations
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Region | Select a region. Cloud service products in different regions cannot communicate with each other over an intranet. For low network latency and quick access, select the nearest region. |
Cluster Name | The cluster name must be unique. A cluster name can contain 1 to 64 characters. Only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_) are allowed. The default name is mrs_xxxx. xxxx is a random collection of letters and digits. |
Cluster Version | Currently, MRS 1.6.3, 1.7.2, 1.9.2, 2.1.0, 3.1.0-LTS.1, and 3.1.2-LTS.3 are supported. The latest version of MRS is used by default. |
Cluster Type | The cluster types are as follows:
Note
|
Components | MRS components are as follows.. Components of an analysis cluster:
Components of a streaming cluster:
|
Component Port | Use the default Open source. |
Hardware Configurations
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
AZ | Select the AZ associated with the region of the cluster. An AZ is a physical area that uses independent power and network resources. AZs are physically isolated but interconnected through the internal network. This improves the availability of applications. You are advised to create clusters in different AZs. |
VPC | A VPC is a secure, isolated, and logical network environment. Select the VPC for which you want to create a cluster and click View VPC to view the name and ID of the VPC. If no VPC is available, create one. |
Subnet | A subnet provides dedicated network resources that are isolated from other networks, improving network security. Select the subnet for which you want to create a cluster. Click View Subnet to view details about the selected subnet. If no subnet is created in the VPC, go to the VPC console and choose Subnets > Create Subnet to create one. For details about how to configure network ACL outbound rules, see Note In MRS, IP addresses are automatically assigned to clusters during cluster creation basically based on the following formula: Quantity of IP addresses = Number of cluster nodes + 2 (one for Manager; one for the DB). In addition, if the Hadoop, Hue, Sqoop, and Presto or Loader and Presto components are selected during cluster deployment, one IP address is added for each component. To create a ClickHouse cluster independently, the number of IP addresses required is calculated as follows: Number of IP addresses = Number of cluster nodes + 1 (for Manager). |
Security Group | A security group is a set of ECS access rules. It provides access policies for ECSs that have the same security protection requirements and are mutually trusted in a VPC. When you create a cluster, you can select Auto create from the drop-down list of Security Group to create a security group or select an existing security group. Note When you select a security group created by yourself, ensure that the inbound rule contains a rule in which Protocol is set to All, Port is set to All, and Source is set to a trusted accessible IP address range. Do not use 0.0.0.0/0 as a source address. Otherwise, security risks may occur. If you do not know the trusted accessible IP address range, select Auto create. |
EIP | After binding an EIP to an MRS cluster, you can use the EIP to access the Manager web UI of the cluster. When creating a cluster, you can select an available EIP from the drop-down list and bind it. If no EIP is available in the drop-down list, click Manage EIP to access the EIPs service page to create one. Note This parameter is valid only in MRS 1.8.0 or later. The EIP must be in the same region as the cluster. |
Enterprise Project | Select the enterprise project to which the cluster belongs. To use an enterprise project, create one on the Enterprise > Project Management page. The Enterprise Management console of the enterprise project is designed for resource management. It helps enterprises manage cloud-based personnel, resources, permissions, and finance in a hierarchical manner, such as management of companies, departments, and projects. |
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Common Node Configurations | This parameter is valid only when Cluster Type is set to Custom. For details, see Custom Cluster Template Description <mrs_01_0121__section126281336123311> . |
Node Type | MRS provides three types of nodes:
|
Instance Specifications | Instance specifications of Master or Core nodes. MRS supports host specifications determined by CPU, memory, and disk space. Click Note
|
System Disk | Storage type and storage space of the system disk on a node. Storage type can be any of the following:
|
Data Disk | Data disk storage space of a node. To increase data storage capacity, you can add disks at the same time when creating a cluster. The following two application scenarios are involved.
The storage type can be any of the following:
Note More nodes in a cluster require higher disk capacity of Master nodes. To ensure stable cluster running, set the disk capacity of the Master node to over 600 GB if the number of nodes is 300 and increase it to over 1 TB if the number of nodes reaches 500. |
Instance Count | Number of Master and Core nodes. For Master nodes:
At least one Core node must exist and the total number of Core and Task nodes cannot exceed 500. Task: Click Note
|
Topology Adjustment | If the deployment mode in the Common Node does not meet the requirements, set Topology Adjustment to Enable and adjust the instance deployment mode based on service requirements. For details, see Topology Adjustment for a Custom Cluster <mrs_01_0121__section1948791193417> . This parameter is valid only when Cluster Type is set to Custom. |
(Optional) Advanced Configuration
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Tag | For details, see Adding a Tag to a Cluster <mrs_01_0048> . |
Hostname Prefix | Enter the prefix for the computer hostname of an ECS in the cluster. |
Auto Scaling | Auto scaling can be configured only after you specify Task node specifications in the Configure Hardware step. For details about how to configure Task node specifications, see Configuring an Auto Scaling Rule <mrs_01_0061> . |
Agency | By binding an agency, ECSs or BMSs can manage some of your resources. Determine whether to configure an agency based on the actual service scenario. For example, you can configure an agency of the ECS type to automatically obtain the AK/SK to access OBS. For details, see The MRS_ECS_DEFAULT_AGENCY agency has the OBSOperateAccess permission of OBS and the CESFullAccess (for users who have enabled fine-grained policies), CES Administrator, and KMS Administrator permissions in the region where the cluster is located. |
Alarm | If the alarm function is enabled, the cluster maintenance personnel can be notified in a timely manner to locate faults when the cluster runs abnormally or the system is faulty. |
Rule Name | Name of the rule for sending alarm messages. The value can contain only digits, letters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). |
Topic Name | Select an existing topic or click Create Topic to create a topic. To deliver messages published to a topic, you need to add a subscriber to the topic. For details, see A topic serves as a message sending channel, where publishers and subscribers can interact with each other. |
Logging | Whether to collect logs when cluster creation fails. After the logging function is enabled, system logs and component run logs are automatically collected and saved to the OBS file system in scenarios such as cluster creation failures and scale-out or scale-in failures for O&M personnel to quickly locate faults. The log information is retained for a maximum of seven days. |
Kerberos Authentication | Whether to enable Kerberos authentication when logging in to Manager.
|
Username | Name of the administrator of Manager. admin is used by default. For versions earlier than MRS 1.7.2, this parameter needs to be configured only when Kerberos Authentication is enabled: |
Password | Password of the Manager administrator The following requirements must be met:
Password Strength: The colorbar in red, orange, and green indicates weak, medium, and strong password, respectively. For versions earlier than MRS 1.7.2, this parameter needs to be configured only when Kerberos Authentication is enabled: |
Confirm Password | Enter the password of the Manager administrator again. For versions earlier than MRS 1.7.2, this parameter needs to be configured only when Kerberos Authentication is enabled: |
Login Mode |
|
Secure Communications | MRS clusters provision, manage, and use big data components through the management console. Big data components are deployed in a user's VPC. If the MRS management console needs to directly access big data components deployed in the user's VPC, you need to enable the corresponding security group rules after you have obtained user authorization. This authorization process is called secure communications. For details, see If the secure communications function is not enabled, MRS clusters cannot be created. |
