### Quick Start Guide
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here are the bare minimum steps you need to get Gluster up and running.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If this is your first time setting things up, it is recommended that you
|
|
|
|
|
|
choose your desired setup method i.e. [AWS](./Setup_aws.md),
|
|
|
|
|
|
[virtual machines](./Setup_virt.md) or [baremetal](./Setup_Bare_metal.md)
|
|
|
|
|
|
after step four, adding an entry to fstab. If you want to get right to
|
|
|
|
|
|
it (and don't need more information), the steps below are all you need
|
|
|
|
|
|
to get started.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will need to have at least two nodes with a 64 bit OS and a working
|
|
|
|
|
|
network connection. At least one gig of RAM is the bare minimum
|
|
|
|
|
|
recommended for testing, and you will want at least 8GB in any system
|
|
|
|
|
|
you plan on doing any real work on. A single cpu is fine for testing, as
|
|
|
|
|
|
long as it is 64 bit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
###### Partition, Format and mount the bricks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Assuming you have a brick at /dev/sdb:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fdisk /dev/sdb and create a single partition
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
###### Format the partition
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
mkfs.xfs -i size=512 -n size=8192 /dev/sdb1
|
2015-05-19 12:11:52 +05:30
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
###### Mount the partition as a Gluster "brick"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p /export/sdb1 && mount /dev/sdb1 /export/sdb1 && mkdir -p /export/sdb1/brick
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
###### Add an entry to /etc/fstab
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
echo "/dev/sdb1 /export/sdb1 xfs defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
###### Install Gluster packages on both nodes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rpm -Uvh http://download.gluster.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/LATEST/Fedora/glusterfs{,-server,-fuse,-geo-replication}-3.3.1-1.fc16.x86_64.rpm
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Note: This example assumes Fedora 16*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
###### Run the gluster peer probe command
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Note: From one node to the other nodes (do not peer probe the first
|
2015-10-14 22:48:09 +02:00
|
|
|
|
node itself, repeat this command for all nodes that should be in the trusted pool)*
|

|
|
|
|
|
2015-10-14 22:48:09 +02:00
|
|
|
|
gluster peer probe <ip or hostname of another host>
|
2015-05-19 12:11:52 +05:30
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
###### Configure your Gluster volume
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-10-14 22:48:09 +02:00
|
|
|
|
gluster volume create testvol replica 2 transport tcp node01:/export/sdb1/brick node02:/export/sdb1/brick
|
2015-05-19 12:11:52 +05:30
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
###### Test using the volume
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir /mnt/gluster; mount -t glusterfs node01:/testvol; cp -r /var/log /mnt/gluster
|
