Create a Target Cluster
Create a target cluster on AWS. Your new instances must match your source cluster in the following ways:
- Network and VPC—The target instances must be in the same network and VPC as each other. However, they do not have to be in the same network and VPC as your source cluster.
- Number of instances and nodes—You must use the same number of instances and nodes as your source cluster.
- IP addresses—The internal IP addresses of the target nodes must be the same as the internal IP addresses of the nodes in the source cluster.
- Version compatibility—Your target cluster must be running the same AMI and Vertica versions and using the same hotfix version as your source cluster.
Your new instances may differ from the source cluster in the following ways:
- Your target cluster may be in a different availability zone.
- You may use a different instance type for your target cluster.
