So how do I De-cluster my 2nd and 3rd nodes? so I can make a cluster off no1? seems the rh rpms automatically setup clusters...like oops.... NB Where is the security around what can join a cluster or not? Im getting a distinct impression the admin guide is somewhat lacking in info on setting up.... Also I have the suggested chapter 6 as chapter 5 so is v3.2.5 the latest version? maybe the guide I have off the gluster web site is obsolete...? regards Steven Jones Technical Specialist - Linux RHCE Victoria University, Wellington, NZ 0064 4 463 6272 ________________________________________ From: gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org [gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org] on behalf of Steven Jones [Steven.Jones at vuw.ac.nz] Sent: Tuesday, 29 November 2011 10:30 a.m. To: gluster-users at gluster.org Subject: Re: setting up a "server" Hi, Debian is good, I run that at home anyway.....if this works out that would be my base OS choice. regards Steven Jones Technical Specialist - Linux RHCE Victoria University, Wellington, NZ 0064 4 463 6272 ________________________________________ From: gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org [gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org] on behalf of Thomas Jackson [thomas at thomax.com.au] Sent: Tuesday, 29 November 2011 10:17 a.m. To: gluster-users at gluster.org Subject: Re: setting up a "server" Hi Steven, Extract from our internal wiki (this is for Debian based machines, so you would need to swap a few of the commands around for Red Hat): On all machines in the cluster: Check that they have entries for each other in /etc/hosts Execute on all machines in the cluster: dpkg -i <most_recent_stable_version> /etc/init.d/glusterd start On ONE HOST ONLY (doesn't matter which), execute the following commands to build a distribute/replicate volume: gluster peer probe <host name of other box - repeat this command for each box in the cluster other than the one executing the commands> gluster volume create test-volume replica 2 transport tcp host1-dns-name:/mnt/physical-storage host1-dns-name:/mnt/physical-storage gluster volume start test-volume On the hosts that you want to mount the volume on: mkdir /mnt/gluster mount -t glusterfs localhost:/test-volume /mnt/gluster-volume/ Cheers, Thomas -----Original Message----- From: gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org [mailto:gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org] On Behalf Of Steven Jones Sent: Tuesday, 29 November 2011 8:07 AM To: gluster-users at gluster.org Subject: setting up a "server" Hi, I have the install guide and the admin guide....nothing in either that I can see from the contents pages tells me how to create the first "server" ( I assume that is what I have to do?) Is there another doc Im missing? or a good URL for a howto on a redhat based machine? Also from what I can see the "free" version is cli only? and there is no virtual (vmware) appliance? regards Steven Jones Technical Specialist - Linux RHCE Victoria University, Wellington, NZ 0064 4 463 6272 _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users at gluster.org http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users -- Message protected by MailGuard: e-mail anti-virus, anti-spam and content filtering. http://www.mailguard.com.au _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users at gluster.org http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users at gluster.org http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users at gluster.org http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users at gluster.org http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
