### 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
|
||
|
||
###### 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
|
||
node itself, repeat this command for all nodes that should be in the trusted pool)*
|
||
|
||
gluster peer probe <ip or hostname of another host>
|
||
|
||
###### Configure your Gluster volume
|
||
|
||
gluster volume create testvol replica 2 transport tcp node01:/export/sdb1/brick node02:/export/sdb1/brick
|
||
|
||
###### Test using the volume
|
||
|
||
mkdir /mnt/gluster; mount -t glusterfs node01:/testvol; cp -r /var/log /mnt/gluster
