OK, this may be obvious but I am not seeing it: I just created a pair of OpenVZ virtual servers to act as gluster nodes with 3.2.6. What I do is create one OpenVZ server, stop it. Copy the file tree and config to another machine, give it a different IP address and host name, then fire up the second one. Now I have two identical machines to install gluster on. I have done this in the past to create clusters of four with no problem. This time, however, when I do gluster peer probe <node1> on node2, it says successful. On node2 the peer is see is node1, on node1 the peer I see is the IP address of node2 (not the hostname). BUT, both nodes have the same UUID, which makes them not work. I tried re-installing gluster on both machines but same result. Any ideas how this is happening? sean -- Sean Fulton GCN Publishing, Inc.
