How to Build Cluster

Operations Installation
1

Hi Team,

How organization in process of evaluating Aerospike for the same i am trying to build cluster of three node. I have installed tar on my all three nodes however unable to get know how build cluster out of it. https://www.aerospike.com/docs/operations/configure/network/heartbeat/index.html

I also go above topic but unable to get clarity from that. Please help.

Have you tried to use any configs yet?

Assuming you decide to do a mesh cluster. (Meaning all 3 nodes will cluster using default port 3002 over TCP)

You can do the following.

Get IP address for all 3 nodes:

(Run ip addr or similar command on each node and capture the 3 ip addresses from interface you want to use for heartbeats)

Node1 IP: w.x.y.1
Node2 IP: w.x.y.2
Node3 IP: w.x.y.3

Modify the config under each node by editing /etc/aerospike/aerospike.conf and adding mesh-seed-address-port IPs to the heartbeat section:

 heartbeat {
    mode mesh                   # Send heartbeats using Mesh (Unicast) protocol
    # address eth1       # (Optional) (Default: any) IP of the NIC on
                                # which this node is listening to heartbeat
    port 3002                   # port on which this node is listening to
                                # heartbeat
    # IP addresses for seed nodes in the cluster

    mesh-seed-address-port  w.x.y.1 3002 # IP address for seed node in the cluster
    mesh-seed-address-port  w.x.y.2 3002 # IP address for seed node in the cluster
    mesh-seed-address-port  w.x.y.3 3002 # IP address for seed node in the cluster

    interval 150                # Number of milliseconds between heartbeats
    timeout 10                  # Number of heartbeat intervals to wait before
                                # timing out a node
  }

and finally restart the 3 servers.

sudo service aerospike restart

You should be able to use a tool like asadm to check the health of your cluster.

asadm -e info

Please also architecture info on clustering:

Thanks for you reply… Let test and get back to you

One more question… Same /etc/aerospike/aerospike.conf copy on all nodes?

-bash-4.2$ asadm -e info Seed: [(‘localhost’, 3000, ‘cluster_a’)] Config_file: /nfshome/sansingh/.aerospike/astools.conf, /etc/aerospike/astools.conf

                                    Node               Node                   Ip       Build   Cluster   Migrations        Cluster     Cluster         Principal   Client     Uptime

Seems IP mismatch
