setting up a cluster

Is this the only documentation on startup up a cluster?
http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/GettingStarted

<http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/GettingStarted>I got a single node up,
pretty straight forward.

But have no idea how to setup a cluster.

1. Once I start a 2nd node, how do I tell it about the other nodes in the
network?

2. Do I inform all other nodes via the nodetool or is there a config file?

3. when you have nodes in other ec2 zones, how do you setup security?  can
you setup firewall rules when nodes are in different zones?


thanks allot!

For EC2,  you can check out http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/CloudConfig for
details on the security settings.

Note that on EC2, it's likely easiest if you place all your nodes in the
same region.  You can still make redundant/HA deployment using availability
zones.  If you use multiple AZs in the same region, you can use internal IPs
in the storage-conf.xml file.  If you use multiple regions, you must use
external IPs (and open the security groups accordingly).

This page may help
http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/MultinodeCluster

it goes through the settings to change  in storage-config.xml

Have not used it on EC2 so cannot help there.
