Using one and the same cluster for both Riak-KV and Riak-S2 is not officially supported by Basho. Riak-S2 uses a specialised backend configuration and very specific buckets, which a generic KV configuration may interfere with. So, while technically possible, we recommend not to mix a KV and an S2 use case within the same cluster. If you have access to additional computing resources (e.g. cloud instances), it would be easiest to spin up an entirely separate cluster for your S2 trial. This avoids having to adjust KV and S2 configuration files for non-standard ports. You can also spin up a new cluster on the existing hardware, but please make sure that you change the cookie for the new cluster to a unique value and that you adjust the ports in use so that they don't overlap with the default ports.
