Tools to help with Weka clusters
o log in as 'root' on one of the servers that will be a Weka Server
o Download the weka code from get.weka.io to root's $HOME
o Git clone this repo into root's $HOME
o Go into tools/install/
o Start with the wekachecker - run it for all dataplane ips (if more than one interface, do them in sets - is ib0 on all hosts, then run again with ib1 of all hosts)
o Fix/investigate any issues that wekachecker WARNs or FAILs, re-run until it looks good
o Use wekadeploy to copy and install the Weka code on all nodes (use dataplane for best performance)
o Verify all nodes are in STEM mode (this is indicated at the end of the wekadeploy)
o Use wekaconfig to generate a configuration
o Check the configuration/config.txt - wekaconfig cannot anticipate all possible configurations, so may generate something unwanted or unexpected
o Apply the configuration by executing the commands in the configuration (config.txt)
o Use weka local resources, weka status, weka cluster nodes, and weka cluster drives to look for any errors in the configuration
o Use weka cluster start-io to start the cluster
o Use weka status to verify that all looks good, fix if needed
o Create filesystem groups and filesystems
o Optionally, configure S3 data stores and auxiliary services (NFS, SMB, S3), security, etc.
