Scylla Manager Server has modest systems requirements. While a minimal server can run on a system with 2 cores and 1GB RAM, the following configuration is recommended:
CPU - 2vCPUs
Memory - 8GB+ DRAM
Note
If you are running Scylla Monitoring Stack on the same server as Scylla Manager, your system should also meet the minimal Monitoring requirements.
Start Scylla Manager Service and verify Scylla Manager is Running and that sctool is running
Choose one of the following installation methods:
Scylla Manager for Scylla Enterprise
Download and install Scylla Manager from the Enterprise Download page.
Follow the entire installation procedure.
Continue with Run the scyllamgr_setup script.
Scylla Manager for Scylla Open Source
On the same node as you are installing Scylla Manager, download and install Scylla as a local database from the Scylla Open Source Download page.
There is no need to run the Scylla setup as it is taken care of by the scyllamgr_setup script.
Download and Install Scylla Manager from the Scylla Manager Open Source Download page.
Follow the entire installation procedure.
Continue with Run the scyllamgr_setup script.
The Scylla Manager setup script automates the configuration of Scylla Manager by asking you some simple questions. It can be run in non-interactive mode if you’d like to script it.
There are three decisions you need to make:
Do you want to enable the service to start automatically? If not, you will have to start the service manually each time you want to use it.
Do you want to set up and enable a local Scylla backend? If not, you will need to set up a remote DB
Do you want Scylla Manager to check periodically if updates are available? If not, you will need to check yourself.
scyllamgr_setup -h
Usage: scyllamgr_setup [-y][--no-scylla-setup][--no-enable-service][--no-check-for-updates]
Options:
-y, --assume-yes assume that the answer to any question which would be asked is yes
--no-scylla-setup skip setting up and enabling local Scylla instance as a storage backend for Scylla Manager
--no-enable-service skip enabling service
--no-check-for-updates skip enabling periodic check for updates
-h, --help print this help
Interactive mode is enabled when no flags are provided.
Procedure
Run the scyllamgr_setup script to configure the service. You can run the script in interactive mode (no flags) or automate your decision making by using flags.
Enable bash completion for sctool: the Scylla Manager CLI. Alternatively, you can just open a new terminal.
source /etc/bash_completion.d/sctool.bash
Scylla Manager integrates with systemd and can be started and stopped using systemctl command.
