How to Add and Remove Members
Guide to dealing with membership in etcd cluster
member
to add,remove,update membership:
# For each machine
TOKEN=my-etcd-token-1
CLUSTER_STATE=new
NAME_1=etcd-node-1
NAME_2=etcd-node-2
NAME_3=etcd-node-3
HOST_1=10.240.0.13
HOST_2=10.240.0.14
HOST_3=10.240.0.15
CLUSTER=${NAME_1}=http://${HOST_1}:2380,${NAME_2}=http://${HOST_2}:2380,${NAME_3}=http://${HOST_3}:2380
# For node 1
THIS_NAME=${NAME_1}
THIS_IP=${HOST_1}
etcd --data-dir=data.etcd --name ${THIS_NAME} \
--initial-advertise-peer-urls http://${THIS_IP}:2380 \
--listen-peer-urls http://${THIS_IP}:2380 \
--advertise-client-urls http://${THIS_IP}:2379 \
--listen-client-urls http://${THIS_IP}:2379 \
--initial-cluster ${CLUSTER} \
--initial-cluster-state ${CLUSTER_STATE} \
--initial-cluster-token ${TOKEN}
# For node 2
THIS_NAME=${NAME_2}
THIS_IP=${HOST_2}
etcd --data-dir=data.etcd --name ${THIS_NAME} \
--initial-advertise-peer-urls http://${THIS_IP}:2380 \
--listen-peer-urls http://${THIS_IP}:2380 \
--advertise-client-urls http://${THIS_IP}:2379 \
--listen-client-urls http://${THIS_IP}:2379 \
--initial-cluster ${CLUSTER} \
--initial-cluster-state ${CLUSTER_STATE} \
--initial-cluster-token ${TOKEN}
# For node 3
THIS_NAME=${NAME_3}
THIS_IP=${HOST_3}
etcd --data-dir=data.etcd --name ${THIS_NAME} \
--initial-advertise-peer-urls http://${THIS_IP}:2380 \
--listen-peer-urls http://${THIS_IP}:2380 \
--advertise-client-urls http://${THIS_IP}:2379 \
--listen-client-urls http://${THIS_IP}:2379 \
--initial-cluster ${CLUSTER} \
--initial-cluster-state ${CLUSTER_STATE} \
--initial-cluster-token ${TOKEN}
Then replace a member with member remove
and member add
commands:
# get member ID
export ETCDCTL_API=3
HOST_1=10.240.0.13
HOST_2=10.240.0.14
HOST_3=10.240.0.15
etcdctl --endpoints=${HOST_1}:2379,${HOST_2}:2379,${HOST_3}:2379 member list
# remove the member
MEMBER_ID=278c654c9a6dfd3b
etcdctl --endpoints=${HOST_1}:2379,${HOST_2}:2379,${HOST_3}:2379 \
member remove ${MEMBER_ID}
# add a new member (node 4)
export ETCDCTL_API=3
NAME_1=etcd-node-1
NAME_2=etcd-node-2
NAME_4=etcd-node-4
HOST_1=10.240.0.13
HOST_2=10.240.0.14
HOST_4=10.240.0.16 # new member
etcdctl --endpoints=${HOST_1}:2379,${HOST_2}:2379 \
member add ${NAME_4} \
--peer-urls=http://${HOST_4}:2380
Next, start the new member with --initial-cluster-state existing
flag:
# [WARNING] If the new member starts from the same disk space,
# make sure to remove the data directory of the old member
#
# restart with 'existing' flag
TOKEN=my-etcd-token-1
CLUSTER_STATE=existing
NAME_1=etcd-node-1
NAME_2=etcd-node-2
NAME_4=etcd-node-4
HOST_1=10.240.0.13
HOST_2=10.240.0.14
HOST_4=10.240.0.16 # new member
CLUSTER=${NAME_1}=http://${HOST_1}:2380,${NAME_2}=http://${HOST_2}:2380,${NAME_4}=http://${HOST_4}:2380
THIS_NAME=${NAME_4}
THIS_IP=${HOST_4}
etcd --data-dir=data.etcd --name ${THIS_NAME} \
--initial-advertise-peer-urls http://${THIS_IP}:2380 \
--listen-peer-urls http://${THIS_IP}:2380 \
--advertise-client-urls http://${THIS_IP}:2379 \
--listen-client-urls http://${THIS_IP}:2379 \
--initial-cluster ${CLUSTER} \
--initial-cluster-state ${CLUSTER_STATE} \
--initial-cluster-token ${TOKEN}
