2.3. Deploying Compute Cluster¶

To create the compute cluster, do the following:

1. On the INFRASTRUCTURE > Traffic types screen, select the VM private and Compute management radio buttons and the VM external checkbox in the Private column, and click Save.

   

2. On the COMPUTE screen, click Configure and do the following in the Configure compute cluster window:

   1. In the Nodes section, make sure the network state is Configured and click Next.

      

   2. In the Virtual Management IP section, specify a virtual management IP address that belongs to the suggested range and click Next.

      

   3. In the External network section, select a physical network to connect the external virtual network to and specify its gateway. Click Next.

      

   4. In the DHCP and DNS section, enable or disable the built-in DHCP server and specify one or more allocation pools and DNS servers for the external virtual network. Click Next.

      

      Note

      1. With the DHCP server enabled, virtual NICs will be automatically assigned IP addresses from the external virtual network IP range or allocation pools. With the DHCP server disabled, virtual NICs will automatically be allocated IP addresses, but you will have to manually assign them inside guests.
      2. If you do not specify allocation pools, IP addresses will be allocated from the entire IP range of the external virtual network.

   5. In the Summary section, click Create cluster.

      

The management panel will show the progress of compute cluster deployment, which may take considerable time.
