Hi Karli,

The following is my note which i gathered from google searches, storhaug wiki and more google searches ... i might have missed certain steps and this is based on Centos 7

install centos 7.x
yum update -y

i have disabled both firewalld and selinux

In our setup we are using LSI raid card RAID10 and present the virtual drive partition as /dev/sdb

Create LVM so that we could utilise the the snapshot feature of gluster

pvcreate --dataalignment 256k /dev/sdb
vgcreate --physicalextentsize 256K gfs_vg /dev/sdb

set the volume to use all the space with -l 100%FREE
lvcreate --thinpool gfs_vg/thin_pool -l 100%FREE  --chunksize 256K --poolmetadatasize 15G --zero n

we use XFS file system for our glusterfs
mkfs.xfs -i size=512 /dev/gfs_vg/thin_pool

Adding the following into /etc/fstab with mount point /bring1683 (you could change the name accordingly)
/dev/gfs_vg/thin_pool                 /brick1683 xfs    defaults 1 2

Enable gluster 4.1 repro

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/Gluster.repo

[gluster41]
name=Gluster 4.1
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/storage/$basearch/gluster-4.1/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

install gluster 4.1

yum install -y centos-release-gluster

Once we have done the above steps on our 3 nodes, login to 1 of the node and issue the following

gluster volume create gv0 replica 3 192.168.0.1:/brick1683/gv0 192.168.0.2:/brick1684/gv0 192.168.0.3:/brick1685/gv0


Setting up HA for NFS-Ganesha using CTDB

install the storhaug package on all participating nodes
Install the storhaug package on all nodes using the appropriate command for your system:

yum -y install storhaug-nfs

Note: this will install all the dependencies, e.g. ctdb, nfs-ganesha-gluster, glusterfs, and their related dependencies.

Create a passwordless ssh key and copy it to all participating nodes
On one of the participating nodes (Fedora, RHEL, CentOS):
node1% ssh-keygen -f /etc/sysconfig/storhaug.d/secret.pem
or (Debian, Ubuntu):
node1% ssh-keygen -f /etc/default/storhaug.d/secret.pem
When prompted for a password, press the Enter key.

Copy the public key to all the nodes nodes (Fedora, RHEL, CentOS):
node1% ssh-copy-id -i /etc/sysconfig/storhaug.d/secret.pem.pub root@node1
node1% ssh-copy-id -i /etc/sysconfig/storhaug.d/secret.pem.pub root@node2
node1% ssh-copy-id -i /etc/sysconfig/storhaug.d/secret.pem.pub root@node3

...

You can confirm that it works with (Fedora, RHEL, CentOS):
node1% ssh -oPasswordAuthentication=no -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no -i /etc/sysconfig/storhaug.d/secret.pem root@node1


populate /etc/ctdb/nodes and /etc/ctdb/public_addresses
Select one node as your lead node, e.g. node1. On the lead node, create/edit /etc/ctdb/nodes and populate it with the (fixed) IP addresses of the participating nodes. It should look like this:
192.168.122.81
192.168.122.82
192.168.122.83
192.168.122.84

On the lead node, create/edit /etc/ctdb/public_addresses and populate it with the floating IP addresses (a.k.a. VIPs) for the participating nodes. These must be different than the IP addresses in /etc/ctdb/nodes. It should look like this:
192.168.122.85 eth0
192.168.122.86 eth0
192.168.122.87 eth0
192.168.122.88 eth0

edit /etc/ctdb/ctdbd.conf
Ensure that the line CTDB_MANAGES_NFS=yes exists. If not, add it or change it from no to yes. Add or change the following lines:
CTDB_RECOVERY_LOCK=/run/gluster/shared_storage/.ctdb/reclock
CTDB_NFS_CALLOUT=/etc/ctdb/nfs-ganesha-callout
CTDB_NFS_STATE_FS_TYPE=glusterfs
CTDB_NFS_STATE_MNT=/run/gluster/shared_storage
CTDB_NFS_SKIP_SHARE_CHECK=yes
NFS_HOSTNAME=localhost

create a bare minimum /etc/ganesha/ganesha.conf file
On the lead node:
node1% touch /etc/ganesha/ganesha.conf
or
node1% echo "### NFS-Ganesha.config" > /etc/ganesha/ganesha.conf

Note: you can edit this later to set global configuration options.

create a trusted storage pool and start the gluster shared-storage volume
On all the participating nodes:
node1% systemctl start glusterd
node2% systemctl start glusterd
node3% systemctl start glusterd
...

On the lead node, peer probe the other nodes:
node1% gluster peer probe node2
node1% gluster peer probe node3
...

Optional: on one of the other nodes, peer probe node1:
node2% gluster peer probe node1

Enable the gluster shared-storage volume:
node1% gluster volume set all cluster.enable-shared-storage enable
This takes a few moments. When done check that the gluster_shared_storage volume is mounted at /run/gluster/shared_storage on all the nodes.

start the ctdbd and ganesha.nfsd daemons
On the lead node:
node1% storhaug setup
You can watch the ctdb (/var/log/ctdb.log) and ganesha log (/var/log/ganesha/ganesha.log) to monitor their progress. From this point on you may enter storhaug commands from any of the participating nodes.

export a gluster volume
Create a gluster volume
node1% gluster volume create replica 2 myvol node1:/bricks/vol/myvol node2:/bricks/vol/myvol node3:/bricks/vol/myvol node4:/bricks/vol/myvol ...

Start the gluster volume you just created
node1% gluster volume start myvol

Export the gluster volume from ganesha
node1% storhaug export myvol

Regards,
Edy

Hi Karli,

Storhaug works with glusterfs 4.1.2 and latest nfs-ganesha.

I just installed them last weekend ... they are working very well :)
Okay, awesome!

Is there any documentation on how to do that?

/K

Cheers,
Edy

For nfs-ganesha problems you'd really be better served by posting
to
support@ or devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Both glusterfs-3.10 and nfs-ganesha-2.4 are really old.
glusterfs-
3.10
is even officially EOL. Ganesha isn't really organized  enough to
have
done anything as bold as officially declaring 2.4 as having
reached
EOL.

The nfs-ganesha devs are currently working on 2.7; maintaining
and
supporting 2.6, and less so 2.5, is pretty much at the limit of
what
they might be willing to help debug.

I strongly encourage you to update to a more recent version of
both
glusterfs and nfs-ganesha.  glusterfs-4.1 and nfs-ganesha-2.6
would
be
ideal. Then if you still have problems you're much more likely to
get
help.

Hi, thank you for your answer, but it raises even more questions
about
any potential production deployment.

Actually, I knew that the versions are old, but it seems to me that
you
are contradicting yourself:

https://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2017-July/031753.
html

"After 3.10 you'd need to use storhaug.... Which.... doesn't work
(yet).

You need to use 3.10 for now."

So how is that supposed to work?

Is there documentation for how to get there?

Thanks in advance!

/K
