RE: Reg :- Multiple Node Cluster set up in Virtual Box

[Kyrylo Lebediev]

Nandan,

There are several options available how this can be done.

For example, you may configure 2 network adapters per each VM:
1) NAT: in order the VM to have access to the Internet
2) Host-only Adapter - for internode communication setup (listen_address, 
rpc_address). Static IP configuration should be used for these interfaces.

Regards,
Kyrill

Hi All,

Thanks for sharing all information.
I am starting to work on this.
Now Problem which I am getting right now is:-
1) How to select Network for Virtual Machine by which I can able to get 
different IP for different Virtual Box?
2) As I am using WIFI for HOST machine which is Windows 10, so is there any 
internal configuration required or I need to select specific Network Adapter 
into Virtual Boxs by which  I will get IP1,IP2,IP3 for node1,node2,node3 
respectively.

Please give me some ideas.
Thanks in advance,
Nandan Priyadarshi

Once the cluster is up you can change the seeds. The seeds are not a SPOF for a 
running cluster - they’re used the first time a node joins the ring (and for 
some other stuff you can ignore for now), as long as the cluster isn’t growing 
seeds don’t matter very much.

Yes, you can change seeds later. You can’t change the cluster name, though.

Not really, people tend to think seeds are more important than they are. You 
want them to be the same, but if they’re different across nodes for a while 
it’s unlikely to hurt much.

Re: Reg :- Multiple Node Cluster set up in Virtual Box

[@Nandan@]

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for you suggestion.
I have few questions here.
1) It is fine to set up first node and put node1 ip as seed , and then I
have to follow to set up node 2,3,4 respectively with same seed node as
node1 's ip address. but this will also comes as SPOF as if node1 will
close for some time being..
2) is it possible that ,after cluster set up with node1 's IP as seed and
cluster name as "ABC Cluster" and later I can change seed nodes like to add
node3 and node4 IP address in all 4 nodes.
3) if it is possible then , are there nay chances that cluster may get
disturbed due to changing seeds.
Please clarify these doubts.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Nandan Priyadarshi

You might want to have a look onto this:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-run-a-multi-node-cluster-database-with-cassandra-on-ubuntu-14-04

It worked great for me, but I have to admit that my cluster is running, but not 
yet in production.

Hi Varun ,
I tried CCM , but as for practice and for deep learning , finally I understood 
that CCM is not a good way to go along.
Like my goal is to learn about configuration aspects as well as to know in

So I am trying to do configure all 4 virtual boxs as 4 nodes.
Thanks for reply. Hope we will work on this .

Re: Reg :- Multiple Node Cluster set up in Virtual Box

[Jeff Jirsa]

Looks like official docs for first-time-setup are pretty lacking.

One node at a time:
- Install the deb package:
http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/getting_started/installing.html
- Then configure -
http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/getting_started/configuring.html
  - Pick a cluster name
  - Set the listen_address (and maybe broadcast_address)
  - Put the IP of the first node as the seed.
- Start the node
- Wait 2 minutes and then proceed to the next one.

Hi Varun ,
I tried CCM , but as for practice and for deep learning , finally I
understood that CCM is not a good way to go along.
Like my goal is to learn about configuration aspects as well as to know in

So I am trying to do configure all 4 virtual boxs as 4 nodes.
