Jakub, Have you set the Data, commitlog, saved cache directories to different ones in each yaml file for each node?

Hi Everybody! I'm trying to add a second node to an already operating one node cluster. Some specs: - cassandra 1.0.7 - both nodes have a routable listen_address and rpc_address. - Ports are open: (from node2) telnet node1 7000 is successful - Seeds parameter on node2 points to node 1. [node1] nodetool -h localhost ring Address DC Rack Status State Load Owns Token node1.ip datacenter1 rack1 Up Normal 74.33 KB 100.00% 0 - initial token on node2 was specified I see something like that in the logs on node2: DEBUG [main] 2012-07-31 13:50:38,640 CollationController.java (line 76) collectTimeOrderedData INFO [main] 2012-07-31 13:50:38,641 StorageService.java (line 667) JOINING: waiting for ring and schema information DEBUG [WRITE-NODE1/node1.ip] 2012-07-31 13:50:39,642 OutboundTcpConnection.java (line 206) attempting to connect to NODE1/node1.ip DEBUG [ScheduledTasks:1] 2012-07-31 13:50:40,639 LoadBroadcaster.java (line 86) Disseminating load info ...

PS. When I didn't specified the initial token on node2 I ended up with exception like that: "Exception encountered during startup: No other nodes seen! Unable to bootstrap.If you intended to start a single-node cluster, you should make sure your broadcast_address (or listen_address) is listed as a seed. Otherwise, you need to determine why the seed being contacted has no knowledge of the rest of the cluster. Usually, this can be solved by giving all nodes the same seed list." I'm not sure how to proceed now. I found a couple of posts with problems like that but they weren't very useful. -- regards, Jakub Glapa This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
