nodetool bootstrap

Monitor and manage a node's bootstrap process.

Synopsis

nodetool [options] bootstrap [resume]

Table 1. Options
Short	Long	Description
`-h`	`--host`	Hostname or IP address
`-p`	`--port`	Port number
`-pwf`	`--password-file`	Password file path
`-pw`	`--password`	Password
`-u`	`--username`	User name

Note:

For tarball installations, execute the command from the install_location/bin directory.
If a username and password for RMI authentication are set explicitly in the cassandra-env.sh file for the host, then you must specify credentials.
nodetool bootstrap operates on a single node in the cluster if -h is not used to identify one or more other nodes. If the node from which you issue the command is the intended target, you do not need the -h option to identify the target; otherwise, for remote invocation, identify the target node, or nodes, using -h.

Description

The nodetool bootstrap command can be used to monitor and manage a node's bootstrap process. If no argument is defined, the help information is displayed. If the argument resume is used, bootstrap streaming is resumed.

Examples

nodetool -u cassandra -pw cassandra bootstrap resume

The location of the cassandra-env.sh file depends on the type of installation:

Package installations	/etc/cassandra/cassandra-env.sh
Tarball installations	`install_location`/conf/cassandra-env.sh
