Elastic High Performance Computing:View and modify cluster information

Last Updated:Mar 31, 2026

View the status, configuration, and services of an E-HPC cluster, and update its basic settings or logon password.

View cluster information

  1. Log on to the E-HPC console.

  2. In the left part of the top navigation bar, select a region.

  3. In the left-side navigation pane, click Cluster.

  4. On the Cluster Details page, select a tab to view the corresponding information.

TabWhat you can do
OverviewMonitor node status, shared storage, cost estimates, custom service components, and cluster activities. Use this tab to get an at-a-glance view of cluster health and access logs and statistical analysis.
Cluster ConfigurationReview basic, network, and version information for the cluster. Use this tab to modify basic settings such as the cluster name, post-processing script, and node limits.
Control ServicesCheck the status of the scheduler, domain accounts, and domain name resolution. Use this tab to view real-time service health and control plane node details, including instance ID, instance type, billing method, image ID, and operating system.
Custom ServicesBrowse all logon nodes and their details. Use this tab to inspect node status, service endpoints, and custom parameters.
Software ApplicationsReview all software applications installed on the cluster. Use this tab to check their names, versions, statuses, and creation times.

Modify cluster configuration

  1. Log on to the E-HPC console.

  2. In the left part of the top navigation bar, select a region.

  3. In the left-side navigation pane, click Cluster.

  4. On the Cluster Details page, click the Cluster Configuration tab.

  5. In the Basic Information section, click Edit Basic Information.

  6. In the dialog box that appears, configure the parameters.

ParameterDescription
Cluster NameThe name displayed in the cluster list. Update this to help distinguish the cluster from others.
Cluster Post-processing ScriptA script that runs after compute nodes are created. Use this to apply custom initialization steps to compute nodes.
Maximum Number of NodesThe maximum number of nodes allowed in the cluster. Together with Maximum Number of Cores, this setting controls the cluster size.
Maximum Number of CoresThe maximum number of cores allowed in the cluster. Together with Maximum Number of Nodes, this setting controls the cluster size.
Cluster Deletion ProtectionEnable or disable deletion protection. When enabled, the cluster cannot be released until this setting is disabled—preventing accidental deletion.
Resource GroupThe resource group to which the cluster belongs. For more information, see Resource groups.
  1. Click OK.

Reset the cluster password

If you forget the root user logon password for the cluster, you can reset it. Perform this operation only when no jobs are running.

Important

Before resetting the password, note the following:

  • This operation resets the root user password for logon nodes, control plane nodes, and compute nodes added during scale-out. Passwords of existing compute nodes are not reset.

  • To prevent logon failures on newly added compute nodes, release all existing compute nodes before resetting the password. For instructions, see Delete nodes.

  • Disable auto scaling for the cluster and its queues before resetting the password. For instructions, see Auto scaling.

  • After resetting the password, restart the ECS instances from the ECS console for the new password to take effect. Restarting from within the operating system is not effective. For more information, see Restart an instance.

  1. Log on to the E-HPC console.

  2. In the left part of the top navigation bar, select a region.

  3. In the left-side navigation pane, click Cluster.

  4. On the Clusters page, find the target cluster, click the 集群更多按钮.png icon in the upper-right corner, and select Reset Cluster Password.

  5. In the dialog box that appears, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the operation.

  6. Click Confirm.

  7. Log on to the cluster with the new root user password to verify that the password was reset successfully.
