Glusterfs version 3.2.2 I have a Gluster volume in which one our of the 4 peers/nodes had crashed some time ago, prior to my joining service here. I see from volume info that the crashed (non-existing) node is still listed as one of the peers and the bricks are also listed. I would like to detach this node and its bricks and rebalance the volume with remaining 3 peers. But I am unable to do so. Here are my setps: 1. #gluster peer status Number of Peers: 3 -- (note: excluding the one I run this command from) Hostname: dbstore4r294 --- (note: node/peer that is down) Uuid: 8bf13458-1222-452c-81d3-565a563d768a State: Peer in Cluster (Disconnected) Hostname: 172.16.1.90 Uuid: 77ebd7e4-7960-4442-a4a4-00c5b99a61b4 State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) Hostname: dbstore3r294 Uuid: 23d7a18c-fe57-47a0-afbc-1e1a5305c0eb State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) 2. #gluster peer detach dbstore4r294 Brick(s) with the peer dbstore4r294 exist in cluster 3. #gluster volume info Volume Name: test-volume Type: Distributed-Replicate Status: Started Number of Bricks: 4 x 2 = 8 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: dbstore1r293:/datastore1 Brick2: dbstore2r293:/datastore1 Brick3: dbstore3r294:/datastore1 Brick4: dbstore4r294:/datastore1 Brick5: dbstore1r293:/datastore2 Brick6: dbstore2r293:/datastore2 Brick7: dbstore3r294:/datastore2 Brick8: dbstore4r294:/datastore2 Options Reconfigured: network.ping-timeout: 42s performance.cache-size: 64MB performance.write-behind-window-size: 3MB performance.io-thread-count: 8 performance.cache-refresh-timeout: 2 Note that the non-existent node/peer is -- dbstore4r294 (bricks are :/datastore1 & /datastore2 - i.e. brick4 and brick8) 4. #gluster volume remove-brick test-volume dbstore4r294:/datastore1 Removing brick(s) can result in data loss. Do you want to Continue? (y/n) y Remove brick incorrect brick count of 1 for replica 2 5. #gluster volume remove-brick test-volume dbstore4r294:/datastore1 dbstore4r294:/datastore2 Removing brick(s) can result in data loss. Do you want to Continue? (y/n) y Bricks not from same subvol for replica How do I remove the peer? What are the steps considering that the node is non-existent? * Regards, * Anup Nair -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
