Edit a VDC

You can change the name, the access key, or the replication and management endpoints of the VDC.

Prerequisites

This operation requires the System Administrator role in ECS.

If you have an ECS geo-federated system, and you want to update VDC endpoints after you:

  • separated the replication or management networks for a VDC, or
  • changed the IP addresses of multiple nodes in a VDC

use the update endpoints in multiple VDCs procedure. If you attempt to update the VDC endpoints by editing the settings for an individual VDC from the Edit Virtual Data Center <VDC name> page, you will lose connectivity between VDCs.

Steps

  1. In the ECS Portal, select Manage > Virtual Data Center.
  2. On the Virtual Data Center Management page, locate the VDC you want to edit in the table. Click Edit in the Actions column beside the VDC you want to edit.
  3. On the Edit Virtual Data Center <VDC name> page:
    • to modify the VDC name, in the Name field, type the new name.
    • to modify the VDC access key for the node you are logged into, in the Key field, type the new key value, or click Generate to generate a new VDC access key.
    • To modify the replication and management endpoints:
    Option Description
    for a single VDC that is not part of an ECS federation
    1. In the Replication Endpoints field, enter the IP addresses for the replication endpoints. Use the:
      • Public IP addresses for the network, if you did not separate the replication network.
      • IP address configured for replication traffic, if you separated the replication network.
      • IP address configured on the load balancer, if you configured a load balancer to distribute the load between the replication IP addresses of the nodes.
    2. In the Management Endpoints field, enter the IP addresses for the management endpoints. Use the:
      • Public IP addresses for the network, if you did not separate the management network.
      • IP address configured for management traffic, if you separated the management network.
    Use a comma to separate IP addresses within the text boxes.
    for a VDC that is part of an ECS federation, and for which you have separated the replication or management networks or changed multiple node IP addresses Do not modify endpoints on the Edit Virtual Data Center <VDC name> page, you must modify the endpoints on the Update All VDC Endpoints page as described in Update replication and management endpoints in multiple VDCs.
    NOTE Update to endpoints on ECS requires assistance of ECS Professional Services to perform. Any change to endpoints without engaging ECS Remote Support could potentially lead to DU.
