A.5.8 Procedure for Getting AMI in Operation

To get an AMI while your instance is running, use the AWS Management Console and perform the following steps.

1. Set the value of the tag "fujitsu.pclswr.is_recovery_target" of the instance of the cluster node to false.

2. Stop the instance of the cluster node. Note the integer value and instance ID that identifies the cluster node, which is the value of the cluster node instance tag "fujitsu.pclswr.id".

3. Create an AMI for the instance of the cluster node.

4. Terminate the instance that you stopped in step 2.

5. Create an instance from the AMI created in step 3 by following the instructions "A.2.3.1 Creating Cluster Node Instance". At this time, set the value of the cluster node instance tag "fujitsu.pclswr.id" to an integer value that identifies the cluster node in step 2. Also note the instance ID of the instance you created.

6. Add the instance you created to the ELB's target group.

7. Change the instance ID for the CloudWatch alarm from the instance ID in step 2 to the instance ID in step 5. Determine what to change by the integer value that identifies the cluster node at the end of the alarm name. For more information about alarm names, see "A.2.4.3 Configuring CloudWatch Alarm".

8. Modify the items of a target instance registered to the table "Fujitsu-Pclswr-DB-Switcher" in Amazon DynamoDB. Check the items "SystemID" and "InstanceID" for the items to be changed. Change the value of the item "InstanceID" from the instance ID in step 2 to the instance ID in step 5. For more information about the items, see "A.2.4.4 Configuring Amazon DynamoDB".

9. Verify that the tag "fujitsu.pclswr.is_recovery_target" value of the instance you created in step 5 is true.
