Originally sent this straight to Steven by accident, resent to list in case it helps anyone else Try on each node: gluster peer status - get what gluster thinks is the hostname from this gluster peer detach <peer name that you got from above> Then try the original instructions again. Note that you should NOT do a peer probe to point to the local host, and you should only do the peer probe from one server (the others will all sync together when it is done from the first server). For example, on one of my clusters (4 nodes): root at node1:~# gluster peer probe node2 root at node1:~# gluster peer probe node3 root at node1:~# gluster peer probe node4 root at node1:~# gluster peer status Number of Peers: 3 Hostname: node2 Uuid: <uuid in here> State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) Hostname: node3 Uuid: <uuid in here> State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) Hostname: node4 Uuid: <uuid in here> State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) If all else fails, delete the /etc/gluster* directories, restart gluster and it should re-create them as you do the commands again. -----Original Message----- From: gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org [mailto:gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org] On Behalf Of Steven Jones Sent: Thursday, 1 December 2011 6:36 AM To: gluster-users at gluster.org Subject: Re: setting up a "server" Hi, So no one knows how to fix this I assume? 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: Wednesday, 30 November 2011 1:19 p.m. To: gluster-users at gluster.org Subject: Re: setting up a "server" On my initial node I get, ========== [root at vuwunicoglstr01 ~]# gluster peer status Number of Peers: 1 Hostname: vuwunicoglstr01 Uuid: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 State: Establishing Connection (Disconnected) [root at vuwunicoglstr01 ~]# ========== I assume it should be "connected" how do I get it to connect? 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: Wednesday, 30 November 2011 11:48 a.m. To: gluster-users at gluster.org Subject: Re: setting up a "server" I just tried to run "gluster peer probe server2" (and server 3) and it says they are part of separate clusters. 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?
