Re: Rebuilding a failed cluster

If you preserved the gluster structure in /etc/ and /var/lib, you should be able to run the cluster again.
First install the same gluster version all nodes and then overwrite the structure in /etc and in /var/lib.
Once you mount the bricks , start glusterd and check the situation.

The other option is to setup a new cluster and volume and then mount the volume via FUSE and copy the data from one of the bricks.

I had a small cluster with a disperse 3 volume. 2 nodes had hardware failures and no longer boot, and I don't have replacement hardware for them (it's an old board called a PC-duino). However, I do have their intact root filesystems and the disks the bricks are on. 

So I need to rebuild the cluster on all new host hardware. does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about doing this? I've built 3 vms to be a new test cluster, but if I copy over a file from the 3 nodes and try to read it, I can't and get errors in /var/log/glusterfs/foo.log:

so obviously, I need to copy over more stuff from the original cluster. If I force the 3 nodes and the volume to have the same uuids, will that be enough?
