Hello,

I want to set up couchbase server/cluster using command line interface.

Reason for not using the UI is we dont want the our end users (developers) of couchbase to play with the configuration, so we would like to set up the using command line. Some thing like silent installation.

i tried to use the couchbase-cli tool, but what should be the order to set up a cluster ?

I assume this order

1. node-init
2. cluster-init
3. bucket-create

Do steps in all nodes in cluster and after that from any one node
4. server-add
5. rebalance

Is what i assume is correct ?

But when i followed this order i get the following error when i run node-init....

[root@sai132 bin]# ./couchbase-cli node-init -c 10.58.116.132 --node-init-data-path /opt/couchbase/var/data -d
INFO: running command: node-init
INFO: servers {'add': {}, 'failover': {}, 'remove': {}}
ERROR: command: node-init: 10.58.116.132:8091, (111, 'Connection refused')

suggestions needed...

Thanks and regards,
Rajesh

Can you try specifying a username and password on the command line too? I think you can do a -u Administrator -p password.

I was trying to add nodes to cluster and i am getting the following error.

I can add the server to cluster using UI, but from CLI it says username and password are incorrect...

Any clue on this..?

[root@sai132 couchbase]# bin/couchbase-cli server-add -c 10.58.116.87 -u Administrator -p sairoot -d --server-add=10.58.116.132 --server-add-username=Administator --server-add-password=sairoot
