Cluster Management Procedures¶

Procedures for Cluster and Datacenter Management

• Create a ScyllaDB Cluster - Single Data Center (DC)

• Create a ScyllaDB Cluster - Multi Data Center (DC)

• Create a ScyllaDB Cluster on EC2 (Single or Multi Data Center)

• Remove a Data-Center from a ScyllaDB Cluster

• Remove a Seed Node from Seed List

• Upscale a Cluster

• Safely Shutdown Your Cluster

• Safely Start or Restart Your Cluster

Procedures for Node Management

• Adding a New Node Into an Existing ScyllaDB Cluster - Out Scale

• Adding a New Data-Center Into an Existing ScyllaDB Cluster - Out Scale

• Remove a Node from a ScyllaDB Cluster - Down Scale

• Replace a Dead Node in a ScyllaDB Cluster

• Replace More than One Dead Node in a ScyllaDB Cluster

• Replace a Seed Node in a ScyllaDB Cluster

• Replace a Running Node in a ScyllaDB Cluster

• Safely Remove a Joining Node

• What to do if a Node Starts Automatically

• Add a Decommissioned Node Back to a ScyllaDB Cluster

• Handling Membership Change Failures

• Add Bigger Nodes to a Cluster

• Repair Based Node Operations (RBNO)

• Preventing Quorum Loss in Symmetrical Multi-DC Clusters

Procedures for Changing the Topology

• Update Topology Strategy From Simple to Network

• Some of these procedures are also covered in the MMS course and in the ScyllaDB Operations course on ScyllaDB University

Procedures for handling failures and practical examples of different scenarios.
