2. Once the Management Server is running, add your new region to all existing regions by repeatedly
using the Add Region button in the UI. For example, if you were adding region 3:
a. Log in to CloudPlatform in the first region as root administrator (that is, log in to
<region.1.IP.address>:8080/client), and add a region with ID 3, the name of region 3, and the
endpoint <region.3.IP.address>:8080/client.
b. Log in to CloudPlatform in the second region as root administrator (that is, log in to
<region.2.IP.address>:8080/client), and add a region with ID 3, the name of region 3, and the
endpoint <region.3.IP.address>:8080/client.
3. Repeat the procedure in reverse to add all existing regions to the new region. For example, for the
third region, add the other two existing regions:
a. Log in to CloudPlatform in the third region as root administrator (that is, log in to
<region.3.IP.address>:8080/client).
b. Add a region with ID 1, the name of region 1, and the endpoint <region.1.IP.address>:8080/
client.
c. Add a region with ID 2, the name of region 2, and the endpoint <region.2.IP.address>:8080/
client.
4. Copy the account, user, and domain tables from any existing region's database to the new
region's database.
In the following commands, it is assumed that you have set the root password on the database,
which is a CloudPlatform recommended best practice. Substitute your own MySQL root password.
a. First, run this command to copy the contents of the database:
# mysqldump -u root -p<mysql_password> -h <region1_db_host> cloud account user domain
> region1.sql
b. Then run this command to put the data onto the new region's database. For example, for
region 3:
# mysql -u root -p<mysql_password> -h <region3_db_host> cloud < region1.sql
5. Remove project accounts. Run these commands on the region 3 database:
mysql> delete from account where type = 5;
6. Set the default zone as null:
mysql> update account set default_zone_id = null;
7. Restart the Management Servers in the new region.
8.2.4. Deleting a Region
Log in to each of the other regions, navigate to the one you want to delete, and click Remove Region.
For example, to remove the third region in a 3-region cloud:
1. Log in to <region.1.IP.address>:8080/client.
