Configure Storage Cluster 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 Cluster like follows on a node. (it's OK to work on any node)
# probe nodes

[root@node01 ~]#
gluster peer probe node02

peer probe: success.
# confirm status

[root@node01 ~]#
gluster peer status
