Hi all
The scenario that I am thinking to implement has as follows:
Mount a volume locally to my Node1 as i-scsi:
mybox1# iscsiadm -m node --targetname "rot1:newvolume.1" --portal "192.168.0.1:3260" --login
.. format and make file system...
mybox1# mount /dev/sdb1 /data -t ext4
Mount another volume locally to my Node2 as i-scsi:
mybox2# iscsiadm -m node --targetname "rot2:newvolume.1" --portal "192.164.0.1:3260" --login
.. format and make file system...
mybox2# mount /dev/sdb1 /data -t ext4
I do the peering between node1/node2:
root@ mybox1:~ # gluster peer probe mybox2.mydomain
Try to create a glusterFS volume from those mounts:
Will the following work?
root@ mybox1:~ # gluster volume create mydata replica 2 mybox1.mydomain:/data mybox2.mydomain:/data force
In other words:
Can I create and share a glusterFS volume from a couple of mounted iSCSI bricks?
yes you can, but the problem you might have is that when the iSCSI sessions get broken then reestablished they will be mapped with a different name (if it was /dev/sdb to might get mapped to /dev/sde or any other letter) it’s better to use ZFS with iSCSI as ZFS handles Linux device mapper mapping of the drives better than XFS.
