Node '[email protected]' not responding to pings

I have no idea what happend with the system, but suddenly when I issue riak start it doesn't start anymore. I get this output.

And if I issue riak console, I get no response for pings. I don't know what to do, so please advise how to put the system back online.

root@aliceubuntu:/home/alice# riak start
!!!!
!!!! WARNING: ulimit -n is 1024; 4096 is the recommended minimum.
!!!!
riak failed to start within 15 seconds,
see the output of 'riak console' for more information.
If you want to wait longer, set the environment variable
WAIT_FOR_ERLANG to the number of seconds to wait.

A simple way to initiate a new riak node is simply run riak console on your riak container bash.

1. If riak is a container in your docker then follow this procedure (MAC)
a. get riak image id <docker ps --all>
b. run bash command <docker exec -it "riak-container-id" bash>
c. run <riak console> this initiates a new riak node console
d. open another terminal and run <riak-shell>
e. run command<connect use your node created at step c> it will look like 
[email protected]

there you go.

So the whole process here is that

  • for some reason IP was changed on the machine riak
  • the IP was hard-coded in /etc/riak/vm.args and /etc/riak/app.config

the process to revive is the following:

  • edit and set the new IPs in the above files
  • sudo rm -rf /var/lib/riak/ring/* # delete the riak ring
  • restart the machine or do the next steps:
  • riak-admin cluster force-replace [email protected] riak@"hostname -i" # replace the name
  • riak start # start the node

This topic is also linked to this problem: Riak node no longer working after changing IP address
