GlusterFS : Replication Configuration2024/05/01

 
Configure Storage Clustering with GlusterFS.
For example, Create a Replication volume with 3 Nodes.
It's possible to create Replication volume with 2 Nodes but it's not recommended because split-brain syndrome maybe happens on [replica 2 volume]. As a countermeasure for split-brain, it is recommended to create volume with more than 3 Nodes or set [arbiter volume].

|   node03.srv.world   +----------+

+----------------------+

 
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/replica

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

peer probe: success.
# confirm status

root@node01:~#
gluster peer status

Number of Peers: 2

Hostname: node02
Uuid: 93798045-c255-4710-999f-3c9b0e040364

Hostname: node03
Uuid: 656ef2a1-9ea0-4057-a042-8d5c270bc17e
State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)
