Add a server

Before you deploy OceanBase Cloud Platform (OCP), you must add the server where OCP (including MetaDB and MonitorDB) is to be installed to OceanBase Admin Toolkit (OAT).

Prerequisites

• Before you add the server, make sure that you have installed OAT and logged on to it as the super administrator or an O&M engineer. For more information, see Install OAT.
• In the scenario of deploying multi-node OCP, you need to add multiple servers.

Procedure

1. Log on to OAT.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Server > Server Management.

3. On the Server Management page, click Add Server in the upper-right corner.

   

4. In the Add Server dialog box that appears, enter the server information.

   The following table describes the server fields.

   Field	Description
   Server IP	The public IP address of the server to be added.
   SSH Port	The SSHD port of the server to be added.
   Credentials	The access credentials of the server to be added. At present, two types of credentials are supported: (1) username + password (2) key.
   Initialize configuration	This feature must be enabled to initialize the server configurations.
   Server usage	The purpose of the server to be added.
   docker root directory	The data directory of Docker.
   admin UID:GID	The UID and GID of the admin user of the operating system.
   Clock Synchronization	Specifies whether to enable clock synchronization.

   

5. Click OK .

   After the server is added, it appears in the server list and is in the Initializing state. On the Server Management page, you can find the added server and click View tasks in the Actions column of the server record to view the task progress. If the server list contains too many servers, you can search for the server by IP address in the upper part of the page.****

   If a failed subtask does not affect services, you can view the logs and then manually set the subtask to successful.
