not a support questionWhat is the correct workflow for a cluster expansion using Ops Center Auto Rebalance feature?
When i launch new instances, what should i put in initial token? Should i calculate anything or let the node try to auto balance and use the rebalance tool?
Thanks
Patrick
Patrick,
How many instances are you launching? If you are just adding one or two instances at a time, then letting the nodes pick a token and using the rebalance feature in OpsCenter to correctly balance the cluster after the fact.
If you are adding more servers than that at once, you can save some time/bandwidth by calculating the optimum tokens or the number of nodes you will have after adding using the info here: http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.1/initialize/token_generation
You can then add the new nodes with these tokens and then use the OpsCenter rebalance feature to move the old nodes to the correct location.
