GlusterFS 9 : Distributed Configuration2021/07/09

 
Configure Storage Clustering with GlusterFS.
For example, create a distributed volume with 2 Nodes.
This example shows to use 2 Nodes but it's possible to use more than 3 Nodes.
                                  |

           ⇑                                             ⇑
     file1, file3 ...                             file2, file4 ...

 
It is strongly recommended to use partitions for GlusterFS volumes that are different from the / partition.
On this example, it shows settings on the environment that all nodes has [sdb1] and mount it to [/glusterfs].

[2] Create a Directory for GlusterFS Volume on all Nodes.
[root@node01 ~]#
mkdir -p /glusterfs/distributed

[3] Configure Clustering like follows on a node. (it's OK on any node)
# probe nodes

[root@node01 ~]#
gluster peer probe node02

peer probe: success.
# confirm status

[root@node01 ~]#
gluster peer status

Number of Peers: 1

Hostname: node02
Uuid: 5011d4c4-22d6-4a96-b7dc-b392c52adaf9
State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)

# create volume

[root@node01 ~]#
gluster volume create vol_distributed transport tcp \
node01:/glusterfs/distributed \
node02:/glusterfs/distributed

volume create: vol_distributed: success: please start the volume to access data
# start volume

[root@node01 ~]#
gluster volume start vol_distributed

volume start: vol_distributed: success
# confirm volume info

[root@node01 ~]#
gluster volume info
