Enabling Couchbase Server services

Couchbase Server services are enabled when adding or joining a node to a cluster.

Syntax

Adding a node syntax:

curl -u [admin]:[password]
  [localhost]:8091/controller/addNode
  -d "hostname=[IPaddress]&user=[admin]&password=[password]"
  -d "services=[data | index | n1ql]"

Joining a node to a cluster:

curl -u [admin]:[password] -d clusterMemberHostIp=[ip-address]
  -d clusterMemberPort=[port]
  -d user=[admin] -d password=[password]
  http://[localhost]:8091/node/controller/doJoinCluster
  -d "services=[data | index | n1ql]"

Description

This command is used to add a node to a cluster and specify the service. If a service is not specified, the default (data) will be added.

Couchbase Server services can only be enabled via the REST API when adding a server to an existing cluster. To initialized cluster (with the first node) with any Couchbase Server service other than the data service (default), use the Couchbase Web Console.
