Gluster users - Oct 2017 - Gluster CLI Feedback

Hi,

As part of our initiative to improve Gluster usability, we would like
feedback on the current Gluster CLI. Gluster 4.0 upstream development is
currently in progress and it is an ideal time to consider CLI changes.
Answers to the following would be appreciated:

   1. How often do you use the Gluster CLI? Is it a preferred method to
   manage Gluster?
   2. What operations do you commonly perform using the CLI?
   3. How intuitive/easy to use do you find the CLI ?
   4. Is the help/information displayed sufficient?
   5. Are there operations that are difficult to perform?

Regards,
Nithya

Hi,

I have only a feedback to point 4/5.
Despite using
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/gluster_volume_module.html for
gluster management
I see the operation of replacing a server with a new hardware while keeping
the same IP number poorly documented.
Maybe I was just unlucky in my search for the documentation, but the best
source I found is
https://support.rackspace.com/how-to/recover-from-a-failed-server-in-a-glusterfs-array/

Basically I need to: shut down the old server, perform a clean OS
installation on the new server,
and make the new server to appear disguised as the old peer, while limiting
the bandwidth used by the volume sync.

Cheers,

Marcin

Hi,


  1.  How often do you use the Gluster CLI? Is it a preferred method to manage
Gluster? It's the only way we manage our volumes.
  2.  What operations do you commonly perform using the CLI? Create, replace,
set, and healing info.
  3.  How intuitive/easy to use do you find the CLI ? it's easy enough and
not confusing.
  4.  Is the help/information displayed sufficient? Yes, the help is suffecint
enough.
  5.  Are there operations that are difficult to perform? no.
