Hello All, (my apologies for the long winded message)
I am new to the Gluster software, but very intrigued by it's potential, so
I've decided to dive into Glustering!
I've been following documentation at
http://www.gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.1_Filesystem_Administration_Guide,
and I am currently stuck at the "Configuring Distributed Replicated
Volumes" phase.
To quickly recap what I've done:
1) Installed glusterfs-core/rdma/fuse-3.1.0-1, e.g. rpmbuild -bb glusterfs.spec
2) Loaded fuse module, e.g. modprobe -v fuse
3) Started glusterd, e.g. /etc/init.d/glusterd start
4) Created Trusted Storage Pools, e.g. gluster peer probe hostnameA; gluster
peer probe hostnameB; gluster peer hostnameC
5) Configuring Distributed Replicated Volumes, e.g. gluster volume create
replicate-volume replica 2 transport tcp hostnameA:/export/ hostnameB:/export
hostnameC:/export
When I run the gluster volume create command, I get this error, "Creation
of volume replicate-volume has been unsuccessful". Looking in one of the
logs, I see this line is generated:
"[2010-10-23 02:56:53.588274] E
[glusterd3_1-mops.c:1370:glusterd_handle_rpc_msg] : Unable to set cli op:
16"
6) Currently running CentOS release 5.5 on 3 VMWare machines from one host. Not
using hardware Raid, just basic install of the OS.
Questions
---------
1) Is there a debug option I can use to see why the command is failing?
2) Do you see anything wrong with the order of the commands I have executed?
3) The only edit I've made was to /etc/glusterfs/glusterd.vol, to change the
transport-type to use "tcp", was this ok, or should I revert back to
"socket,rdma"?
volume management
type mgmt/glusterd
option working-directory /etc/glusterd
option transport-type tcp
option transport.socket.keepalive-time 10
option transport.socket.keepalive-interval 2
end-volume
Any advice or corrections would be greatly appreciated!
My best to you,
