Communication Security Authorization

MRS clusters provision, manage, and use big data components through the management console. Big data components are deployed in a user's VPC. If the MRS management console needs to directly access big data components deployed in the user's VPC, you need to enable the corresponding security group rules after you have obtained user authorization. This authorization process is called secure communications.

If the secure communications function is not enabled, MRS clusters cannot be created. If you disable the communication after a cluster is created, the cluster status will be Network channel is not authorized and the following functions will be affected:

  • Functions, such as big data component installation, cluster scale-out/scale-in, and Master node specification upgrade, are unavailable.
  • The cluster running status, alarms, and events cannot be monitored.
  • The node management, component management, alarm management, file management, job management, patch management, and tenant management functions on the cluster details page are unavailable.
  • The Manager page and the website of each component cannot be accessed.

After the secure communications function is enabled again, the cluster status is restored to Running, and the preceding functions become available. For details, see Enabling Secure Communications for Clusters with This Function Disabled.

If the security group rules authorized in the cluster are insufficient for you to provision, manage, and use big data components, is displayed on the right of Secure Communications. In this case, click Update to update the security group rules. For details, see Update.
