Attaching a GridGain 9 Cluster

This page explains how to attach a GridGain 9 cluster to GridGain Nebula.

You can attach as many clusters as your license supports.

Start the Cluster

  1. Follow the GridGain 9 documentation to start the cluster.

  2. Copy aside the URL address of the cluster as you will need it to connect to the cluster from within Nebula.

Configure Access Ports

Open egress ports 10300 and 10800 to Nebula’s GCP Cloud NAT IP address - 35.209.75.152 - in the cluster firewall rules. The above address will be used to access the cluster from Nebula.

For AWS-based clusters:

  1. Create a GridGain 9 cluster based on AWS EC2 instances.

  2. Configure firewall rules using AWS security groups - add the 10300 and 10800 ports to the security group’s inbound rules with 35.209.75.152/32 as the source.

  3. In the URL of the GridGain REST API field, enter the cluster URL.

  4. If the node you are connecting to is hidden behind an entity like a NAT or a load balancer (see Configure Access Ports above), enter that entity’s address(es) in the Client connections field. The format is either host:port or port. Make sure you have mapped the node address to the NAT/balancer address in the cluster.

  5. To enable SSL encryption in Nebula/cluster communications, select the SSL enabled check box.

  6. If you are attaching a secure cluster, enter Username and Password that correspond to the credentials of one of the users included in the cluster configuration.

  7. Click Continue.

    The dialog indicates that the cluster has been found.
