Follow these steps to get a 3 node cassandra cluster up and running.
-
Install terraform.
-
Update variables.tf with proper values
-
run
terraform get
This is to install an external module for cassandra security groups.
- run
terraform plan
Review the changes.
- run
terraform apply
To bring up resources. At the end you should get the public IP address
of your nodes. run terraform show at any time to get those public ips
for the next steps.
- Once your instances are up, ssh into each instance. cassandra_0 and cassandra_1 are seed nodes so you must do those one at a time.
On each node in sequence do the following steps:
ssh -i <path2key>.pem ubuntu@<cassandra_0_ip>
bash /tmp/provisioning/setup_cassandra.sh 0
ssh -i <path2key>.pem ubuntu@<cassandra_1_ip>
bash /tmp/provisioning/setup_cassandra.sh 1
ssh -i <path2key>.pem ubuntu@<cassandra_2_ip>
bash /tmp/provisioning/setup_cassandra.sh 2
After all the nodes are up and waiting for connection (tail -f /var/log/cassandra/system.log)
ubuntu@ip-10-2-5-172:~$ nodetool status
Datacenter: datacenter1

For secondary server:
ssh -i <path2key>.pem ubuntu@<cassandra_2_ip>
bash /tmp/provisioning/single.sh
Backup/Restore script uses the pem key to send backup to remote server, please make sure that the path and name is correct.
- To create backup:
./backup.bash backup
- To restore backup:
sh restorenew.sh restore BACKUPDAY
Example:
sh restorenew.sh restore 20160822
