Start Abiquo servers and services

To start the Abiquo platform servers and services, do these steps:

1. On the Abiquo server, restart the HTTP daemon to refresh the user interface files, and bring up the Tomcat server.

   service httpd start
   service abiquo-tomcat start

2. On the Remote services server, start the Tomcat server

   service abiquo-tomcat start

3. On the Monitoring server do these steps.

   1. Edit the file /opt/kairosdb/conf/kairosdb.properties to update the name of the following variable and to remove the port from it:

      1. Replace the line kairosdb.datastore.cassandra.host_list=192.168.888.999:9160.

      2. With this line kairosdb.datastore.cassandra.cql_host_list=192.168.888.999. Please note the new cql_ prefix for host_list.

   2. Edit the file /etc/cassandra/conf/cassandra.yml OR /etc/cassandra/default.conf/cassandra.yaml (whichever exists) to remove a variable:

      1. Remove the line starting with kairosdb.datastore.cassandra.datapoint_ttl and save and close the file.

   3. Edit the file /opt/kairosdb/conf/kairosdb.properties to add a new variable (ref: Internal JIRA SUP-333):

      1. Add kairosdb.datastore.cassandra.datapoint_ttl = 15768000

4. On the Monitoring server, start the Cassandra service

   sudo service cassandra start

5. WAIT about 5 minutes until the service is up and running

6. Start the KairosDB service

   sudo service kairosdb start

7. Start the other services in this order

   sudo service abiquo-emmett start
   sudo service abiquo-delorean start

8. On the V2V server: restart the Tomcat server:

   service abiquo-tomcat restart

9. In Abiquo, re-enable the physical machines!
