Corrupted aerospike.conf file on AWS instances

[jheyssel]

I set up the aerospike-ansible project as directed in video presentation and documentation:

Host OS: Ubuntu 22.04
license: corporate

and ran the install command:

$ ansible-playbook aws-setup-plus-aerospike-install.yml --extra-vars="{'enterprise':true,'feature_key':'/home/jheyssel/Desktop/features.conf'}"

After discovering that the aerospike.service would not start -- systemctl status aerospike showed that asd had not started ... I found that

aerospike.conf in /etc/aerospike was corrupted on install. In specific the heartbeat stanza was corrupted -- the ip address was not inserted.

It appears that the cluster IP addresses were not yet known at the moment entries in the heartbeat section were written:

mesh-seed-address-port [ 3002 :: there should be an ip address for a cluster host where the "[" is ... many such corrupted entries were created as can be seen below ...

After manually fixing the entries, I was able to start asd and run asadm and other tools.

Aerospike database configuration file.
