Manage Global Cluster
This guide explains how to manage your global cluster.
This feature is available only to Dedicated clusters in a Business Critical project.
Before you start
-
Ensure you are a Project Admin.
-
Note that the both the primary and secondary clusters cannot be suspended.
Monitor cluster status
You can monitor the status of your primary and secondary clusters as well as the data replication status.
Cluster Status | Description |
|---|---|
CREATING | The cluster is being created. |
RUNNING | The cluster is running normally. |
ABNORMAL | An issue has been detected with the cluster. Please contact support. |
SWITCHING | Zilliz Cloud is switching the primary role between the primary and a secondary cluster. |
FENCED | After a switchover or failover, the original primary cluster enters the "Fenced" status and rejects all write requests. |
REBUILDING | When you restore a global cluster, all of its original secondary clusters transition to the "Rebuilding" status. |
Switchover
For planned regional rotation, you can perform a switchover to promote a secondary cluster to the primary role.
Once you click the button, switchover will take place when data between the old and new primary cluster is fully synced.
The following demo shows how to perform a switchover.
Add secondary clusters
To improve regional coverage, you can add additional secondary clusters in different regions to an existing global cluster.
A global cluster can only have up to 5 secondary clusters.
The following demo shows how to add secondary clusters.
Drop secondary cluster
Once you drop all secondary clusters in a global cluster, it reverts to a regular non-global cluster. For details about how to drop clusters, see Manage Cluster.
