Starting, Stopping, and Restarting Nodes in MC
In MC you can start, stop, and restart nodes in a subcluster in your database. This allows you to tailor the amount of compute power you are using to the current demands for the workload assigned to that subcluster.
For Eon Mode databases, MC supports actions for subcluster and node management:
- In the cloud: On AWS and GCP.
- On-premises: For Pure Storage FlashBlade.
For Enterprise Mode databases, MC supports these actions:
- In the cloud on AWS: Add Node action, Add Instance action.
- On-premises: Add Node action.
In the cloud on GCP, Enterprise Mode databases are not supported.
On the Manage > Subcluster page in the right column, the Node Actions column displays icons that let you start, stop, or restart a node and the underlying AWS cloud instance. Hover over an icon to read the action it performs. If an icon is grayed out, that action is not available for that node.
- Start Node. Start an individual node in the subcluster.
- Stop Node. Stop an individual node in the subcluster.
- Restart Node. Restart an individual node in the subcluster.
Restart Node is available for nodes only in the cloud, but not on-premises.
