Introduction
You can create a GooseFS cluster on the GooseFS list page through the GooseFS console. For the concept of GooseFS clusters, see GooseFS Cluster Overview. The following describes in detail how to create a GooseFS cluster. Attention:
GooseFS clusters are region-specific. In general, it is recommended that you deploy a GooseFS cluster in the same region as your computing business. For example, if your big data analytics jobs run in Guangzhou Zone 6, it is recommended that you also deploy the GooseFS cluster in Guangzhou Zone 6 to shorten the data I/O path.
Prerequisites
Before using GooseFS in the console, contact us to activate the GooseFS service. If the service is already activated, you can skip this step. Operation Steps
2. In the left navigation, choose GooseFS > Instance List to enter the GooseFS cluster list page.
3. Click Create to go to the cluster creation flow. The GooseFS cluster creation flow consists of three main steps: configuring cluster information, configuring cluster resources, and confirming the information.
Cluster Information: Used to describe the basic attributes of a GooseFS cluster. You need to configure the following parameters.
Cluster Name: Cluster unique identifier, globally unique under the account. Enter 1 to 50 characters, supporting a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, Chinese characters, digits, underscores (_), periods (.), and spaces.
Cluster Description: Used to describe the attributes, purpose, and other information of the cluster.
Cluster Category: Tencent Public Cloud clusters.
Region: The region where the cluster is located, generally consistent with the region of the cluster where the computing business resides.
AZ: The AZ where the cluster is located, generally the same AZ as the computing cluster.
VPC: The VPC where the cluster is located, generally the same VPC as the computing cluster. Try to avoid cross-VPC deployment.
Subnet: The subnet where the cluster is located.
Tag: Cluster tag information.
Cluster Resources: Used to configure the cache storage capacity that the GooseFS cluster needs to manage. The configuration items are described as follows.
Deployment Mode: Select Master-Only Hosting Mode. In this mode, users purchase Master instances on the GooseFS platform. Worker nodes require users to purchase CVM instances as nodes, which are added to the cluster via Add Node after cluster creation. When a GooseFS cluster is created in Master-Only Hosting Mode, the configuration items are described as follows: Master Specification: You can select the Medium, Large, or XLarge edition. The specifications of different Master models are as follows:
|
Medium | 100 million |
Large | 1 billion |
XLarge | 10 billion |
2XLarge | 20 billion |
Instance Type: CVM and EMR are supported.
EMR Cluster: This item is displayed when Instance Type is set to EMR. Select an EMR cluster. If none of the existing EMR clusters meet your requirements, you can go to Create Cluster. Worker Node: Select Worker nodes under CVM or EMR.
Worker Formatted Mounting: Supports setting the device name, formatting the system, and specifying the mount point. This item is displayed when CVM is selected.
Cache Configuration
Cache Path: The storage path for GooseFS cluster Worker node data on the host machine.
Cache Capacity: Data capacity of a single Worker node in the cluster.
Instance Fee and Management Fee: The system-displayed values apply by default.
Terms of Service: Select the terms of service.
Confirmation Information
After filling in the required parameters, click Next to start checking the node status. After the system check is successful, click OK to execute. You will then enter the cluster creation flow, where you can view the detailed progress of cluster deployment in the Task Center.
Following Steps
After creating a GooseFS cluster, you can log in to the cluster as needed for subsequent operations such as node management, namespace management, client management, and configuration management. For detailed instructions, refer to the following documents:
