Datastore Statuses

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

When you deploy a Datastore, you will see a Status reported in the CCX Dashboard. This article outlines the statuses and what they mean.

Status	Description	Action Required?
Deploying	Your `Datastore` is being configured and deployed into the `Cloud` you specified	No
Available	Your `Datastore` is up and running with no reported issues	No
Unreachable	Your `Datastore` might be running but CCX is not able to communicate directly with one or more `Node(s)`.	Verify you can access the `Datastore` and contact Support
Maintenance	Your `Datastore` is applying critical security updates during the specific maintenance window.	No
Deleting	You have requested the deletion of your `Datastore` and it is currently being processed.	No, unless this deletion was not requested by you or the `Datastore` has been in this state for more than 2 hours
Deleted	Your `Datastore` has been deleted.	No
Failed	Your `Datastore` has failed, this can be a hardware or software fault	Contact Support

Glossary

Term	Definition	AKA	Area
Datastore	A deployment of a `Database` on `CCX`. A `Datastore` has a unique ID, it is essential to include this when contacting Support with issues or queries.	Service	Deployment
Node	A Virtual Machine (VM) in a `Cloud` that makes up a `Datastore`. A `Node` consists of: - CPU - the number of cores - RAM - the amount (GB) of memory - Storage - the amount (GB/TB) of persistent storage	Virtual Machine (VM) Node Server Instance	Compute
Storage	The amount of persistent data for your `Datastore`. Storage comes in multiple different formats and not all are supported by all `Clouds`. There are cost and performance considerations when choosing the storage.		Storage
Volumes	The types of `Storage` available. Typically, this is measured in `IOPS` and the higher `IOPS` has increased performance with an increased cost per GB
Database	The engine deployed and configured for your `Datastore`. To see these options, check Supported Databases	Database Management System (DBMS)	General
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)	A private network configured that is unique to your account and ensures that any traffic between your `Datastore` does not go over the Public Internet	Private Network	Networking
Cloud	An infrastructure provider where `Datastores` can be deployed		Deployment
Region	A geographic region with one or more `Datacentres` owned or operated by a `Cloud`. A `Datastore` is deployed into a single `Region`		Deployment
Availability Zone (AZ)	A `Region` can have one or more `Availability Zones`. More than one `Availability Zones` allows one `Datacentre` to go down without bringing down all of the `Nodes` in your `Datastore`. CCX will automatically attempt to deploy each `Node` in a `Datastore` into a different `AZ` (if the `Region` supports it)		Deployment
Replication	A method of exchanging data between two `Nodes` that ensures they stay in sync and allows one Node to fail without bringing your `Datastore` down		Operations
Primary / Replica	The recommended deployment for a Production `Datastore` with 2 or more `Nodes`, one acting as the `Primary` and the other(s) acting as the `Replica`	Highly Available High Availability	Operations
Multi-Primary	Multiple `Nodes` deployed with the same role, all of them acting as the `Primary`. This topology is not supported by all `Databases`	Clustered	Operations
Status	The last known status of your `Datastore`. For details of the possible statuses, see here	State	Operations
Maintenance	The application of critical security updates to your `Datastore`. These are applied in your `Maintenance Window` which can be configured per `Datastore`.		Operations
Monitoring	This is the metrics of the hardware and software for your `Datastore`. These can be accessed in the CCX Dashboard and can be shown per `Node`. For details of the metrics available, see here.		Observability

Notifications

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

CCX notifies users by email in case of certain events. Recipients can be configured on the Datastore Settings page or in the Datastore wizard.

Alert	Description	Action Required?
Cluster Upgrade	Cluster is being upgraded	No
Cluster Storage Resized	Cluster storage has been automatically resized from size to new_size.	No
HostAutoScaleDiskSpaceReached	The cluster is running out of storage and will be automatically scaled.	No
