Upgrading hardware on a node in a cluster

[Martin Koch <ma...@issuu.com>]

Hi List

I'd like to migrate my nodes in a cluster to new hardware, moving one node
at a time.

I'm running the cluster in Amazon, so I don't get to pick the ip number of
each host myself.

I'd like to decommision, say, the node with token 0, and bring that node up
on the new hardware (which will have a new IP number).

Can anyone provide me with a recipe for doing this? I've looked around and
read about nodetool move, which didn't make me much wiser.

Thanks for your help,

if you have N nodes in your cluster, add N new nodes using the new
hardware, then decommision the old N nodes.

(and migrate to VPC like dean said)

Well, you could use amazon VPC in which case you DO pick the IP yourself ;)….it makes life a bit easier.
