Kevin: First things first. What version of Riak are you running? The `riak-admin cluster` commands are available as of Riak 1.2.0. Next, if you have already renamed all of the nodes, you will need to use the `reip` method to modify all of the ring files on each of the nodes. If you are able, it's easier to roll back the changes to the configuration and get the nodes starting again.
Once they are started and running, here's a writeup of the scheme you would use to do the rolling configuration changes: https://gist.github.com/4566736 Thanks, Charlie Voiselle On Dec 29, 2012, at 1:02 PM, Kevin Burton <rkevinbur...@charter.net> wrote: > Here is what I found out (I am still stuck) > https://github.com/basho/basho_docs/issues/28 > > > The step says to rename or remove the data/ring directory.
