Creating a Database using MC
If you installed the Management Console using an RPM, there is a wizard to help you create a new database on an existing Vertica cluster.
If you did not install MC with an RPM, see one of the following:
- For Management Console on Amazon Web Services (AWS) using a CloudFormation Template, see Creating an Eon Mode Database in AWS with MC or Creating an Enterprise Mode Database in AWS with MC.
- For Google Cloud Platform (GCP), see Using the MC to Provision and Create an Eon Mode Database in GCP.
- To provision a new database and cluster on-premises, see Creating a Cluster Using MC in the Installation Guide.
-
Connect to Management Console, and log in.
-
On the home page, click View Infrastructure to go to the Database and Cluster View. This tab provides a summary of your environment, clusters, and databases.
-
If the Database row displays a database running on the cluster that you want to add a new database to, select the database and click Stop. Wait until the database status is Stopped.
-
In the Clusters row, click the existing cluster that you want to create a database on. If a database is already running on it, you must stop the database.
-
Click Create Database in the window to start the database creation wizard.
- Follow the steps in the wizard to successfully create a database.
You can close the web browser during the process and sign back in to MC later. The creation process continues unless an unexpected error occurs.
