Scaling Up Master Node Specifications in an MRS Cluster

Prerequisites

• You have checked whether the Host Security Service (HSS) is enabled. If HSS is enabled, disable the HSS monitoring on the MRS cluster before you scale up master node specifications.
• Ensure that sufficient specification resources are available throughout the steps in Scaling Up Master Node Specifications (Step-by-Step Upgrade).

Use Restrictions

• Master nodes can be scaled up for clusters with two or more master nodes.
• The specifications of the Master node in a BMS cluster cannot be upgraded.
• For MRS 1.8.2 or later to a version earlier than MRS 3.x or MRS 3.1.0 or later, see Scaling Up Master Node Specifications (One-Click Upgrade).
• For MRS 3.0.5 and a version earlier than MRS 1.8.2, see Scaling Up Master Node Specifications (Step-by-Step Upgrade).
• Do not perform other operations on the cluster during the scale-up.
• It is best to scale up the Master node specifications during off-peak hours to prevent any service interruptions.

Scaling Up Master Node Specifications (One-Click Upgrade)

1. Log in to the MRS console.
2. On the Active Clusters page, select a running cluster and click its name to switch to the cluster details page.
3. On the Nodes tab page, select Scale Up Specifications in the Operation column of the Master node group. The Scale Up Master Node Specifications page is displayed.
4. Select the target specifications and click Submit Order. The order has been submitted successfully.
   The node specification scale-up takes some time. After the scale-up is successful, the cluster status changes to Running.

   

   • The VM to be scaled up is automatically stopped during the scale-up and started after the scale-up is complete.
   • The scale-up does not automatically upgrade the memory of components due to different component usage requirements. You can adjust the memory of components as needed.

Preparing for Scaling Up Master Node Specifications

1. Log in to the MRS console.
2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Active Clusters, select the cluster for which you want to scale up Master node specifications, and click its name to switch to the cluster details page.
3. Ensure that the cluster status is Running.
4. On the Nodes tab page, ensure that all nodes in the cluster are in the Running state.
5. Log in to Manager and go to the cluster management page. For details, see Accessing MRS Manager.
6. Choose Cluster > Services > ZooKeeper > Dashboard and ensure that Running Status of the ZooKeeper service is Normal.
   Figure 1 ZooKeeper service status
   

7. Update service parameter settings as required. For details, see Modifying the Configuration Parameters of an MRS Cluster Component.
   

   You need to perform this step only once before scaling up the standby Master node.

8. Choose Cluster > Services > HDFS > Instance.
9. Record the business IP address of NameNode (Standby). When upgrading the specifications of the active Master node, record the business IP address of NameNode (Active). Figure 2 shows the location of the business IP address.
   Figure 2 Business IP address of the NameNode
   
   

   Only when the cluster is an analysis cluster, you can perform 8 to 9 to record the IP addresses of the active and standby nodes.

10. On the upper right of the Manager page, check the number next to the icon. If the number is 0, there is no running tasks in the cluster.
11. Click Hosts. If the cluster is an analysis cluster, select the checkbox of the host corresponding to the business IP address of the NameNode recorded in 9. If the cluster is a streaming cluster, you do not need to distinguish the active and standby nodes. You only need to choose hosts for the scale-up.
12. Choose More > Stop All Instances and wait until all instances are stopped.
    

    • When the node where Manager resides is scaled up, Manager may not be accessed due to an active/standby switchover. It is a normal phenomenon. Try to log in to Manager later. If the login fails for a long time, contact O&M personnel.
    • After all roles are stopped, the following alarms may be generated. After the scale-up of Master node specifications is complete and all roles are started, the alarms are automatically cleared.
      • ALM-12006 Node Fault
      • ALM-12010 Manager Heartbeat Interruption Between the Active and Standby Nodes
      • ALM-12039 Active/Standby OMS Databases Not Synchronized
      • ALM-14000 HDFS Service Unavailable
      • ALM-14010 NameService Service Is Abnormal
      • ALM-14012 JournalNode Is Out of Synchronization
      • ALM-16004 Hive Service Unavailable
      • ALM-18000 Yarn Service Unavailable
      • ALM-19000 HBase Service Unavailable
      • ALM-20002 Hue Service Unavailable
      • ALM-27001 DBService Service Unavailable
      • ALM-27003 DBService Heartbeat Interruption Between the Active and Standby Nodes
      • ALM-27004 Data Inconsistency Between Active and Standby DBServices
      • ALM-43001 Spark2x Service Unavailable
