GlusterFS : Distributed + Replication Setting2017/06/21

Configure Storage Clustering.

For example, create a Distributed + Replication volume with 4 servers.

                                  |
+----------------------+          |          +----------------------+
| [GlusterFS Server#1] |10.0.0.51 | 10.0.0.52| [GlusterFS Server#2] |
|   node01.srv.world   +----------+----------+   node02.srv.world   |
|                      |          |          |                      |
+----------------------+          |          +----------------------+
                                  |
+----------------------+          |          +----------------------+
| [GlusterFS Server#3] |10.0.0.53 | 10.0.0.54| [GlusterFS Server#4] |
|   node03.srv.world   +----------+----------+   node04.srv.world   |
|                      |                     |                      |
+----------------------+                     +----------------------+

	It is recommended to use partitions for GlusterFS volumes which are different from the / partition. The environment on this example is set as that sdb1 is mounted on [/var/lib/glusterfs] directory for GlusterFS Configuration on all Nodes.
[1]	Install GlusterFS Server on All Nodes, refer to here.
[2]	Create a Directory for GlusterFS Volume on all Nodes.

root@node01:~#

mkdir -p /var/lib/glusterfs/dist-replica

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

# probe the node

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.

# show status

root@node01:~#

gluster peer status

Number of Peers: 3

Hostname: node02
Uuid: a39156f3-32cb-451e-9e34-08ce504d72bb
State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)

Hostname: node03
Uuid: b86b98e4-12b6-4581-984d-da420d7b3bbe
State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)

Hostname: node04
Uuid: 6a1fb91a-f483-48c7-8dc7-0f2ac4d8db94
State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)

# create volume

root@node01:~#

volume create: vol_dist-replica: success: please start the volume to access data

# start volume

root@node01:~#

# show volume info

gluster volume info


Volume Name: vol_dist-replica

Volume ID: 539f9993-90c6-4b7a-88ab-43a860dfe165
Status: Started
Snapshot Count: 0
Number of Bricks: 2 x 2 = 4
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: node01:/var/lib/glusterfs/dist-replica
Brick2: node02:/var/lib/glusterfs/dist-replica
Brick3: node03:/var/lib/glusterfs/dist-replica
Brick4: node04:/var/lib/glusterfs/dist-replica
Options Reconfigured:
transport.address-family: inet
performance.readdir-ahead: on
nfs.disable: on

[4]	If use NFS mount from Clients, Start required services first and also configure like follwos.

root@node01:~#

gluster volume set vol_dist-replica nfs.disable off

volume set: success

[5]	To mount GlusterFS volume on clients, refer to here.
