GlusterFS 7 : Distributed + Replication2021/04/02

 
Configure Storage Clustering with GlusterFS.
For example, Create a Distributed + Replication volume with 6 Nodes.
Also Configure Arbiter Volume in order to avoid Split Brain.
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/dist-replica

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

[root@node01 ~]#
gluster peer probe node02

peer probe: success.
[root@node01 ~]#
gluster peer probe node03

peer probe: success.
[root@node01 ~]#
gluster peer probe node04

peer probe: success.
[root@node01 ~]#
gluster peer probe node05

peer probe: success.
[root@node01 ~]#
gluster peer probe node06

peer probe: success.
# confirm status
