This document describes how can a node be edited.
Overview
If you run a single node installation, you are allowed to edit all the node options (Hostname, Private IP, Public IP). Just click on the nodeID in the Nodes List. You can change all the role's parameters with a click on the role's name, also in the Nodes List.
In case of a distributed installation, editing a node might be complicated or even impossible. Depends on what you want to edit. Remember that we deal with two objects:
- a node that runs a role
- a role that is assigned on the node
Edit Node and Assigned Roles
Edit node parameters
You are allowed to edit all the node's options:
- Hostname
- Private IP
- Public IP
Edit role parameters
This depends on the status of the node.
This means that the node is new to the infrastructure or it has been already deactivated. In this case most of the things can be edited.
| Intended Action | Possibility |
|---|---|
| Edit the role's fields | All fields are editable (under the same role), except for the nodeID. |
| Change the assigned role | This is possible but the existing role must be deleted first using the [Delete Assignment] link. |
| Delete the node | This is possible using the [Delete Node] link. |
| Deactivate the node | This is not possible. |
| Fix the node | This is not possible. |
This is a soon to be activated or just deactivated node.
| Intended Action | Possibility |
|---|---|
| Edit the role's fields | All fields are editable (under the same role), except for the nodeID. |
| Change the assigned role | This is not possible. |
| Delete the node | This is possible using the [Delete Node] link. |
| Deactivate the node | This is possible only when the node is stand-by. |
| Fix the node | This is not possible. |
This means that the node is functioning in the infrastructure.
| Intended Action | Possibility |
|---|---|
| Edit the role's fields | Only Customer Connectivity is editable, assuming that the role exposes this property. |
| Change the assigned role | This is not possible. |
| Delete the node | This is not possible. |
| Deactivate the node | This is possible only for the following types of nodes:
|
| Fix the node | This is not possible. |
This means that the node might require reconfiguration to work after an infrastructure change was operated.
| Intended Action | Possibility |
|---|---|
| Edit the role's fields | All fields are editable (under the same role), except for the nodeID. |
| Change the assigned role | This is not possible. |
| Delete the node | This is not possible. |
| Deactivate the node | This is possible only for the following types of nodes:
|
| Fix the node | When this is clicked, a panel requiring confirmation is opened after which the node status is changed to |
