Hi have setup a two node replication glusterfs. After the initial installation the "master" node was put into the datacenter and after two week we moved the second one also to the datacenter. But the sync has not started yet. On the "master" gluster> volume info all Volume Name: datastore1 Type: Replicate Volume ID: fdff5190-85ef-4cba-9056-a6bbbd8d6863 Status: Started Number of Bricks: 1 x 2 = 2 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: nas-01-data:/datastore Brick2: nas-02-data:/datastore gluster> peer status Number of Peers: 1 Hostname: nas-02-data Uuid: 71df9f86-a87b-481d-896c-c0d4ab679cfa State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) On the "slave" gluster> peer status Number of Peers: 1 Hostname: 192.168.70.6 Uuid: 97ef0154-ad7b-402a-b0cb-22be09134a3c State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) gluster> volume status all Status of volume: datastore1 Gluster process Port Online Pid ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brick nas-01-data:/datastore 49152 Y 2130 Brick nas-02-data:/datastore N/A N N/A NFS Server on localhost 2049 Y 8064 Self-heal Daemon on localhost N/A Y 8073 NFS Server on 192.168.70.6 2049 Y 3379 Self-heal Daemon on 192.168.70.6 N/A Y 3384 There are no active volume tasks I would like to run on the "slave" gluster volume sync nas-01-data datastore1 But then the virtual machines hosted will be unavailible is there another way to start the replication ?
