Cluster Management

Management Options

  1. Managing the cluster is principally accomplished via Glasshouse, the management GUI.

  2. In some cases, particularly for new features, the user may need to SSH directly in to the dashboard console to manage the cluster

Glasshouse GUI

Glasshouse is a user interface focused on streamlining administration and monitoring tasks. Create VMs quickly, update firewall rules simply, and create entire new tenancies in a few clicks.

GUI

Logging in

  1. Using your web browser of choice, navigate to the URL which points to your HyperCloud installation e.g. https://<dashboard IP>/ This will open Glasshouse, the HyperCloud management GUI (Graphical User Interface). Glasshouse is used administer the cluster and to create, manage, and share Virtual Machines.

  2. Enter your login credentials into the relevant text fields.

The dashboard IP & cluster admin password are specified in the dashboard configuration step of the Deployment Guide.

LOG-IN

Cluster Authorized Keys

The Dashboard Console is authenticated using SSH keys. Use Glasshouse to add your public SSH key to the Cluster SSH Authorized Keys, or create a new key

  1. Navigate to the Cluster/SSH Keys panel in the Glasshouse GUI.
  2. Add the appropriate SSH keys to the Cluster SSH Authorized Keys text box.
  3. Click the add button to apply.

The new SSH keys may take a short time to propagate through the cluster.

SSHKEYS

Dashboard Console

The [dashboard console] is an alternate way to manage the HyperCloud cluster.

To login to the dashboard console, an appropriate SSH key must first be added as one of the Cluster SSH Authorized Keys.

The dashboard IP is specified in the [dashboard configuration] step of the Installation guide.

  1. Log in as root: ssh root@<dashboard IP>
~ % ssh root@10.127.4.18
