Changing a KeyControl Mapping

  1. Log into the KeyControl webGUI on any node in the cluster using an account with Cloud Admin privileges.
  2. In the top menu bar, click Cloud.
  3. Click the Mappings tab.
  4. Select the Mapping you want to change in the list, then select Actions > Edit Mapping.

  5. If you want to add a new IP address, click the + (Plus sign) on the right-hand side of the dialog box to add a new row, then enter the following information:

    Field Description
    Description Enter a description for this node that lets you distinguish it from other nodes in the KeyControl Mapping.
    Hostname or IP The hostname or IP address to which this node should be mapped. This name or address should be accessible to the VMs that will be connected to KeyControl using this KeyControl Mapping.
    Port The port number for the specified Hostname or IP address. The default is 443.

    Node drop-down

    Select the appropriate node in the drop-down list. You can only have one entry for each node.

    Enabled/Disabled

    Select Enabled if the node is available to the VMs associated with this Mapping. If you want to use this a placeholder until you bring the node online, select Disabled. The default is Enabled.
  6. If you want to delete an existing entry, click the – (Minus sign) at the end of the row you want to delete.
  7. When you are done adding nodes, make sure that the order is correct. The VMs will attempt to contact the first node in the list. If the first is unavailable they will try to contact the second node, then the third, then the fourth and so on. If you need to change the order, click and hold on the arrow icon at the beginning of the line to drag the entry to the proper position. Release the mouse to drop the entry in the new location.
  8. When you are done, click Update. KeyControl communicates the changes to the associated VMs on their next heartbeat.
