Gluster users - Jan 2010 - Adding Gluster second node

Hi All,

I am new to Gluster and am implementing a test environment in our VMware ESX
R&D Cluster, I have configured the first node and am now attempting to add a
second server. I have entered the IP address range of nodes I am going to add in
the 'add server' wizard and it then tells me to boot the other node im
trying to add.

I boot the second node of the source and click on add server when booted, it
then comes up with the following message.

Installation Status

Finding first server to initiate installation remotely.... Success.
Go to first server and select 'Add server' in server manager to take
control.
Installer agent died. Installation aborted.

I have tried all different combinations of booting, selecting add server from
the console before starting the second add etc etc...

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Pete.

Hi Pete,

    Can you go to console and attach "/tmp/start-server-installer.log"
and
    dmesg output. Also try running "installeragent" command on the
console
    and paste back the error message what you see?.

Regards
