Paul - If you give me until Monday to test I can get you some feedback. On first glance it looks excellent! Thanks, Craig -- Craig Carl Sales Engineer; Gluster, Inc.

Please advise if there are any errors? Once the procedure is corrected/confirmed by the experts, I propose it replace the current one - so more people can combine the benefits of ZFS and Gluster. Regards, Paul ============ To install GlusterFS onto OpenSolaris, perform the following steps, based on the doco: http://support.zresearch.com/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.1:_Installing_GlusterFS_on_OpenSolaris pkg install SUNWarc pkg install SUNWhea pkg install SUNWgcc pkg install SUNWbinutils Now, we need to add in support for installing CSW library files: pkgadd -d http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/pkg_get.pkg all y y vim /root/.bashrc Add to the end of the file: PATH=/opt/csw/bin:$PATH export PATH Logout and back into root terminal session, check the path value: # echo $PATH /opt/csw/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin Now lets go ahead and run the program, and make it update itself in the process: pkg-get upgrade pkg-get install automake y (attribute change) pkg-get install autoconf pkg-get install gm4 pkg-get install bison pkg-get install flex (nb: not flex_new) Note: GNU Bison 2.3 - /opt/csw/bin (GlusterFS works with this Bison) GNU Flex 2.5.4 - /opt/csw/bin (GlusterFS works with this Flex) Note: Gluster Filesystem is incompatbile with the SUNWflexlex package, installed in /usr/sfw/bin. You need to use GNU Flex instead. Use the GNU make utility (do not use the Solaris make command). Use the following build instructions: export PATH=/usr/sfw/bin:$PATH mkdir /usr/src/gluster cd /usr/src/gluster wget http://ftp.gluster.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/3.0/LATEST/glusterfs-3.0.5.tar.gz gunzip -d glusterfs-3.0.5.tar.gz tar -xf glusterfs-3.0.5.tar cd glusterfs-3.0.5 LDFLAGS="-L/opt/csw/lib" ./configure --disable-fuse-client --disable-ibverbs make CFLAGS="-g -O0" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/csw/lib" make install Confirm the app is ready to run: /usr/local/sbin/glusterfs --version The build information is displayed, for example: glusterfs 3.0.5 built on Sep 23 2010 01:22:02 Repository revision: v3.0.5 Copyright (c) 2006-2009 Gluster Inc. <http://www.gluster.com> GlusterFS comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
