If this request for clarification falls on the right ears I have two more requests:
Could some clarification in the instructions be made for the statement: riak-admin cluster plan If this looks good: It is unclear to me and maybe other beginners what 'good' looks like. Also: Load test data Execute on any one of the nodes: curl -s http://rekon.basho.com | sh Visit DNS address listed on the dashboard, at the port we opened as an endpoint: http://testlinuxvm.cloudapp.net:8098/riak/rekon/go We just loaded test data onto one of the Azure nodes. Was this necessary? What did it do? What "tests" does the web page run? Is this kind of a 'ping'? Thank you for your patience.

What you describe could work assuming the the public ip has some sort of load balancing in front of it. That is fine as long as you have a way to get connected to both boxes and you configure riake to utilize the private ip addresses. You will need to find out how to ssh into the second node which is going to depend on a lot of things specific to Windows Azure. Perhaps you can ssh into the public ip to get connected to node1 and then ssh from there to the private ip of node2? Until you can get to a command line on both nodes, you are not going to be able to go any further. If the way to do that is not evident, then you may need to contact support for Windows Azure to figure this out. As to why the instructions you linked to didn't work, I can only guess that either something has changed on the Windows Azure side of things or perhaps something went wrong on their side of things which isn't immediately evident. Or perhaps the instructions simply are wrong. I have no way confirm any of these things. Hopefully, either the person who wrote those instructions or someone else who has used them can chime in and provide some insight.

Maybe someone else on this list is familiar with that the Windows Azure setup, but if you figure out how to give the vms different ips, you should be good to go.

There may be other issues as well, but the same ip on two machines is always a problem. Well, that's not entirely true, but in case of most things including riak, it is. The instructions assume that you have two functional machines to start with, but it sounds like this us not the case.

From: Kevin Burton [mailto:rkevinbur...@charter.net] Sent: Friday, December 07, 2012 10:54 PM To: riak-users@lists.basho.com Subject: Second of multi-node setup on Azure is invisible I am trying to follow the instructions at http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/tutorials/installation/Installing-on-Windo ws-Azure/. For now I am setting up two nodes. The first node works fine. But with the second node I am not able to specify a DNS name (since it is not stand alone). So effectively what I call 'node2' doesn't exist. It shows up in the portal but PuTTY opening to node2.cloudapp.net does not exist (at least I cannot connect). They both have the same public IP address. The instructions indicate that I should install riak on both machines: 1. On each node, once you've connected using the steps above: Execute: sudo su - curl -s https://raw.github.com/glickbot/riak_on_azure/master/azure_install_riak.sh | sh But since I cannot SSH to the second node I cannot do this. Am I missing something in the instructions? _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
