Configure ScyllaDB
Configure the /etc/scylla/scylla.yaml file with the following parameters:
Item Content
Name of the cluster, all the nodes in the cluster
cluster_name
must have the same name
Seed nodes are used during startup to bootstrap
seeds
the gossip process and join the cluster
listen_address The IP address that ScyllaDB uses to connect to
other ScyllaDB nodes in the cluster
IP address of interface for client connections
rpc_address
(Thrift, CQL)
ScyllaDB setup
Run the scylla_setup script to tune the system settings
COPY
sudo scylla_setup
This script invokes a set of scripts to configure several operating system
settings, like setting RAID0 and XFS filesystem. It also runs a short (up to a
few minutes) benchmark on your storage and generates the
/etc/scylla.d/io.conf configuration file. When the file is ready, you can
start ScyllaDB (see below). ScyllaDB will not run without XFS or io.conf
file. To bypass this check, set ScyllaDB to developer mode.
Run ScyllaDB as a service (if not already running)
COPY
sudo systemctl start scylla-server
