Retry a cluster

When stack provisioning or cluster creation fails, the “retry” option allows you to resume the process from the last failed step.

In some cases the cause of a failed stack provisioning or cluster creation can be eliminated by simply retrying the process. For example, in case of a temporary network outage, a retry should be successful. In other cases, a manual modification is required before a retry can succeed. For example, if you are using a custom image but some configuration is missing, causing the process to fail, you must log in to the machine and fix the issue; Only after that you can retry the process.

Only failed stack or cluster creations can be retried. A retry can be initiated any number of times on a failed creation process.

To retry provisioning a failed stack or cluster, follow these steps.

Steps

1. Browse to the cluster details.
2. Click Actions and select Retry.

   Only failed stack or cluster creations can be retried, so the option is only available in these two cases.

3. Click Yes to confirm.

   The operation continues from the last failed step.
