Managing Instance Configurations

Scenario

Configuration parameters of each role instance can be modified. In the scenario where instances are migrated to a new cluster or the service is redeployed, the cluster administrator can import or export all configuration data of a service on FusionInsight Manager to quickly copy configuration results.

FusionInsight Manager can manage configuration parameters of a single role instance. Modifying configuration parameters and importing or exporting instance configurations do not affect other instances.
