Add an OBServer to the OCP resource pool

Before you deploy an OceanBase cluster, you must add one or more OBServers to the resource pool of OceanBase Cloud Platform (OCP).

Background

The GUI varies with the OCP version. In this example, OCP V3.3.2 is used. For OCP of other versions, see User Guide of the corresponding version.

Procedure

1. Enter the access URL in the format of "http://<IP address of the OCP server >:8080" in the address bar of your browser and press Enter. Then, use the admin account to log on to the OCP console.

   Note

   Contact OceanBase Technical Support to obtain the default password of the admin account. To ensure account security, change the password upon the first logon.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Hosts.

3. In the upper-right corner of the page that appears, click Add Host.

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

   

   The following table describes the fields that you need to configure.

   Field	Description
   IP Address	The NIC IP address of the OBServer.
   SSH Port	The default value is 22.
   Select Host Type	If the required host type is unavailable, you can click Create Host Type to add a host type. A host type is a label that you specify for hosts with the same configurations. We recommend that you specify a meaningful host type to facilitate host management.
   Select IDC	Select the IDC where the server is deployed. IDC information includes IDC and Region. Region specifies the geographical area where the host is located. A region can have one or more physical IDCs. Region and IDC are the reference items for the load balancing and SQL statement routing strategies of OceanBase Database. Set these fields based on the actual situation. Note: OCP V3.1.1 and later versions support the multi-zone deployment mode. When you add an IDC, the new IDC is created in the zone where the current OCP is located.
   Type	The host type. Select Physical Machine.
   Select Credential	Select the credentials used to remotely log on to the physical server. You can select Add Credential from the drop-down list to create credentials. For information about how to create credentials, see the OCP User Guide.
   Host Alias	A host alias is a label that you specify for hosts with the same configurations. We recommend that you specify a meaningful alias to facilitate host management. This parameter is optional.
   Note	The host comments that can be used to facilitate host management. This parameter is optional.

5. Click OK.
