Hi, I can see that the demotion is happening from the status provided by you. Do verify it. I would recommend you to change the cluster.tier-demote-frequency to 120 and cluster.tier-promote-frequency to 1800 to increase the demotions until the hot tier is emptied to a certain extent. Later you can use the values existing now.

In an attempt to get the cluster to demote some files, I set cluster.watermark-hi: 80 but it is still not demoting. > > > [root@Glus1 ~]# gluster volume info > > Volume Name: FFPrimary > Type: Tier > Volume ID: 466ec53c-d1ef-4ebc-8414-d7d070dfe61e > Status: Started > Snapshot Count: 0 > Number of Bricks: 9 > Transport-type: tcp > Hot Tier : > Hot Tier Type : Replicate > Number of Bricks: 1 x 3 = 3 > Brick1: Glus3:/data/glusterfs/FFPrimary/brick3 > Brick2: Glus2:/data/glusterfs/FFPrimary/brick2 > Brick3: Glus1:/data/glusterfs/FFPrimary/brick1 > Cold Tier: > Cold Tier Type : Distributed-Replicate > Number of Bricks: 2 x 3 = 6 > Brick4: Glus1:/data/glusterfs/FFPrimary/brick5 > Brick5: Glus2:/data/glusterfs/FFPrimary/brick6 > Brick6: Glus3:/data/glusterfs/FFPrimary/brick7 > Brick7: Glus1:/data/glusterfs/FFPrimary/brick8 > Brick8: Glus2:/data/glusterfs/FFPrimary/brick9 > Brick9: Glus3:/data/glusterfs/FFPrimary/brick10 > Options Reconfigured: > cluster.tier-promote-frequency: 120 > cluster.tier-demote-frequency: 1800 > cluster.watermark-low: 60 > cluster.watermark-hi: 80 > performance.flush-behind: on > performance.cache-max-file-size: 128MB > performance.cache-size: 25GB > diagnostics.count-fop-hits: off > diagnostics.latency-measurement: off > cluster.tier-mode: cache > features.ctr-enabled: on > transport.address-family: inet > nfs.disable: on > performance.client-io-threads: off > [root@Glus1 ~]# gluster volume tier FFPrimary status > Node Promoted files Demoted files Status run time in h:m:s > --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- > localhost 49 0 in progress 5151:30:45 > Glus2 0 0 in progress 5151:30:45 > Glus3 0 2075 in progress 5151:30:47 > Tiering Migration Functionality: FFPrimary: success > [root@Glus1 ~]# > > What can cause GlusterFS to stop demoting files and allow it to completely fill the Hot Tier? > > Thank you! > > > > _______________________________________________ > Gluster-users mailing list > Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users -- Regards, Hari Gowtham. _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
