Hi all, I'm attempting to create a 4 nodes cluster over EC2. I'm fairly new to this and so may not be seeing something obvious. - Established passworldless SSH between nodes. - edited /etc/sysconfig/network HOSTNAME=node#.ec2 to satisfy FQDN - mounted xfs /dev/xvdh /mnt/brick1 - stopped iptables The error I'm getting occurs when invoking the following, where <volume> is the volume name: # gluster volume create <volume> replica 2 node1.ec2:/mnt/brick1 node2.ec2:/mnt/brick1 node3.ec2:/mnt/brick1 node4.ec2:/mnt/brick1 # volume create: <volume>: failed: Host node1.ec2 is not in 'Peer in Cluster' state Checking peer status of node1.ec2 from node{2..4}.ec2 produces the following. Note that node1.ec2's elastic IP appears instead of the FQDN; not sure if that's relevant or not. [root@node2 ~]# gluster peer status Number of Peers: 3 Hostname: node4.ec2 Uuid: ab2bcdd8-2c0b-439d-b685-3be457988abc State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) Hostname: node3.ec2 Uuid: 4f128213-3549-494a-af04-822b5e2f2b96 State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) Hostname: ###.##.##.### #node1.ec2 elastic IP Uuid: 09d81803-e5e1-43b1-9faf-e94f730acc3e State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) The error as it appears in vim etc-glusterfs-glusterd.vol.log: [2014-02-14 23:28:44.634663] E [glusterd-utils.c:5351:glusterd_new_brick_validate] 0-management: Host node1.ec2 is not in 'Peer in Cluster' state [2014-02-14 23:28:44.634699] E [glusterd-volume-ops.c:795:glusterd_op_stage_create_volume] 0-management: Host node1.ec2 is not in 'Peer in Cluster' state [2014-02-14 23:28:44.634718] E [glusterd-syncop.c:890:gd_stage_op_phase] 0-management: Staging of operation 'Volume Create' failed on localhost : Host node1.ec2 is not in 'Peer in Cluster' state Can someone suggest possible cause of this error or point me in a viable direction? _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
