6.1. Deploying the Compute Cluster

Before creating a compute cluster, make sure the network is set up according to recommendations in Managing Networks and Traffic Types. The basic requirements are: (a) the traffic types VM private, VM public, Compute API, and VM backups must be assigned to networks; (b) the nodes to be added to the compute cluster must be connected to these networks and to the same network with the VM public traffic type.

Once you’ve configured the networks, you can proceed to create the compute cluster:

  1. On the COMPUTE screen, click Create compute cluster and configure the cluster settings in the Configure compute cluster window as follows.

  2. In the Nodes section, select all the nodes and make sure the network state of each selected node is Configured. Then, click Next.

    If node network interfaces are not configured, click the cogwheel icon, select networks as required, and click Apply.

  3. In the Public network section, leave the IP address management disabled if you want the IP address for Acronis Cyber Backup Appliance virtual machine to be allocated by an external DHCP server. Otherwise, you can enable it. For more information, refer to Creating the Compute Cluster.

  4. In the Summary section, review the configuration and click Create cluster.

You can monitor compute cluster deployment on the Compute screen.
