8.2. Cluster Datasource and Replicator operations

To execute a host operation please follow the following steps:

  1. Navigate to clusters page

  2. Find the cluster you wish to perform the operation on

  3. Use the expand arrows on the left side of the service header to expand the services until you find the host row you are looking for

  4. Click the gear icon at the far right of the Datasource row to open operations menu (See Figure 8.5, “Primary Host Operations” & Figure 8.6, “Replica Host Operations”)

  5. Select the operation you want to run on the cluster.

Note

Available operations depend on the Role of the host you are executing the operations on.

Note

It is strongly recommended to set the service to MAINTENANCE policy before running any cluster operations

Once clicked the operation will lock the service and block it (See Figure 8.7, “Blocked Cluster”) from all dashboard users for the duration of the operation. By default the Dashboard has a 120 second timeout for operations. Please bear in mind that some operations may take much longer, especially large clusters. For these use cases it is recommended to adjust the rest_timeout property in the config.json file.
