Deploy ODP

This topic describes how to create an ODP cluster in OceanBase Cloud Platform (OCP).

Prerequisites

• You have the OBPROXY_MANAGER role or the permissions to manage ODP.
• The ODP RPM package is obtained and uploaded to the corresponding directory.

Procedure

1. Log on to the OCP console.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, click OBProxy to go to the ODP page.

3. In the upper-right corner of the page, click Create OBProxy Cluster.

4. On the Create OBProxy Cluster page, configure Basic Settings.

   Parameter	Description
   Cluster Name	You can customize the cluster name. The value must start with a letter and can contain letters, digits, and underscores (_).
   Access URL	The access URL of the ODP cluster. The access URL is only used to generate a connection string for the tenant. For a virtual IP (VIP) address, you must apply for the VIP and bind it to the ODP server.
   Access Port Number	The access port number. The default port number is 2883. You must specify the actual port number based on the VIP.
   Startup Method	The startup method of the ODP cluster. Valid values: ConfigUrl: specifies the multicluster startup method, where the ODP cluster can access multiple OceanBase clusters. RsList: specifies the single cluster startup method, where the ODP cluster can only access the OceanBase cluster specified when the ODP cluster is created. After an ODP cluster is created, no more connectable OceanBase clusters can be added.
   Select Accsssible OceanBase Clusters	The OceanBase clusters that are accessible to the ODP cluster. This parameter is optional when you set Startup Method ConfigUrl. After the cluster is created, you can click Add Connectable OceanBase Cluster to add more OceanBase clusters. This parameter is required when Startup Method is set to RsList. Select the OceanBase cluster from the drop-down list. Note If the password box contains the credentials of the proxyro user of the cluster, the proxyro user is selected by default. Otherwise, you can click Create Connection to create a connection credential for the proxyro user of the cluster.

5. Optional. On the Create OBProxy Cluster page, configure Deploy OBProxy.

   If you want to deploy the ODP when you create an ODP cluster, you can skip this step. After the cluster is created, you can add an ODP to the cluster by taking the following actions: take over an ODP or add an ODP.

   Toggle on the switch in the upper-right corner of the Deploy OBProxy page. Refer to the following table to specify the parameters.

   Parameter	Description
   SQL Port Number	The default port is 2883.
   Exporter Port Number	The default port is 2884.
   Software Version	Select the version of ODP RPM to install.
   Parameters about ODP hosts	Configure the host where ODP is deployed by setting the following parameters: IDC, Host Type (Optional), and Host. By default, parameters for configuring two hosts are displayed. To deploy more hosts, click Add OBProxy to add a host. If you need to deploy only one ODP host, click the Delete icon next to the Host field to delete the host.

6. Optional. On the Create OBProxy Cluster page, configure Parameter Settings.

   Enable Parameter Settings, and add or modify the startup parameters and other parameters.

7. Click Submit.
