Modifying a Cluster

You can change the name of a cluster, its description, and its associated shared data location. You may also want to change the timeout settings for the cluster if you are getting timeout error messages. For more information, see Troubleshooting Connection Timeouts . Another troubleshooting option is to change the level of logging for the nodes in the cluster. For more information, see Changing the Node Logging Level .

* 
NOTE: Before you change the shared data location, ensure that no jobs are running. See Viewing a Cluster’s Queue and Canceling a Task or Discovery for more information.
To modify a cluster
1
In the Manage Discovery Clusters pane, select the cluster.
2
On the Cluster Details tab in the bottom pane, change the name, description, database timeout settings, node logging level, or shared data location.
3
Click Apply.

Deleting a Cluster

Before you can delete a cluster, all nodes in the cluster must first be removed. Nodes cannot be removed until all jobs have either finished processing or been canceled. For more information, see Removing a Node and What does the status of a node or cluster indicate? .

* 
NOTE: A discovery is assigned to a cluster. If you delete a cluster, the discovery cannot run. Re-create the discovery and assign it to another cluster.
To delete a cluster
1
In the Manage Discovery Clusters pane, select the cluster.
Since the cluster has no nodes, it is in the Disabled state. If it is not disabled, you still have nodes deployed and must remove them.
2
Click Delete Cluster.
3
In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes.

Disabling a Cluster

Disable a cluster when you want to take all the nodes in that cluster offline but you know you will be using the cluster again. For example, if you need to perform maintenance tasks, you can disable a cluster. No work will be assigned to the cluster, but you can quickly bring it online by enabling it.

To disable a cluster
1
In the Manage Discovery Clusters pane, select the cluster.
2
Click Disable Cluster.

What To Do if a Cluster is Disabled

A cluster that is not online is indicated by a grayed-out icon. A disabled cluster cannot accept any jobs, so you should either troubleshoot the problem and enable the cluster, or re-create the discovery and assign it to another cluster. Use care when you re-assign discoveries, as you can affect the network load by increasing the distance between the data and the nodes.
