Re: One volume gluster vol

[Mark s2c <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello 

Thanks for the suggestions, but they don’t work:

[root@mybox ~]# gluster volume create myVol1 /gfs/mybox/brick1 

Wrong brick type: /gfs/mybox/brick1, use <HOSTNAME>:<export-dir-abs-path>

Usage: volume create <NEW-VOLNAME> [stripe <COUNT>] [replica <COUNT> [arbiter <COUNT>]] [disperse [<COUNT>]] [disperse-data <COUNT>] [redundancy <COUNT>] [transport <tcp|rdma|tcp,rdma>] <NEW-BRICK>?<vg_name>... [force]

[root@mybox ~]# gluster volume create myvol localhost:/gfs/mybox/brick1

Please provide a valid hostname/ip other than localhost, 127.0.0.1 or loopback address (0.0.0.0 to 0.255.255.255).

And as a recap, when I follow this form (which I did at first, hence the post):

[root@mybox ~]# gluster volume create myvol1 mybox:/gfs/mybox/brick1

volume create: myvol1: failed: Host mybox is not in 'Peer in Cluster’ state

Any other alternative suggestions would be useful.

Thanks

If you are creating a volume that your brick is already mounted on, I’m not even sure you have to give it a hostname.

gluster volume create myVol1 /gfs/mybox/brick1

or

gluster volume create myVol1 localhost:/gfs/mybox/brick1

Can you give me the command cos I can only find one instance of it on the net and it’s this one.

Much obliged.

Can you please detail the exact issue. I don't see any issue in setting a single node cluster apart from sacrificing high availability.

Hello can I create a one volume gfs vol?
As I have no peer, I appear to only have local host and even if I reference it with its host name as the error says, it doesn't work. Is it even possible or do I need a second server?

We've just bought a big box so a second would be a big outlay. Could I use a VM with disproportionate bricks just to get the peerage set up and then remove one of the members?
