Configuring and Launching an MC instance

When you create an EC2 instance on AWS using a Vertica MC AMI, the instance includes a complete installation of Vertica MC. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you use the Vertica MC AMI as is – without modification.

configure and launch an MC instance in AWS:

  1. Select the Vertica MC AMI from the AWS marketplace.
  2. Create a single instance, Open Text Corporation recommends c3.large for most implementations.
  3. Place your MC instance within the VPC, subnet, and security group of the cluster which it will monitor.
  4. Choose the key value pairs you use with Vertica.
  5. Assign an elastic IP to the instance to make the MC externally accessible.

Configure Your Security Group:

The MC AMI requires specific security group configurations to communicate with the Vertica cluster. Enable the security rules for the MC AMI listed under the MC section of the Network ACL Settings section.

Launch MC Instance:

Verify that your MC instance is running.
