  1. Install GlusterFS

  8. Distributed + Replication
  9. Dispersed Configuration

Configure Storage Clustering with GlusterFS.
For example, Create a Replication volume with 3 Nodes.
It’s possible to create Replication volume with 2 Nodes but it’s not recommended because split-brain syndrome maybe happens on [replica 2 volume]. As a countermeasure for split-brain, it is recommended to create volume with more than 3 Nodes or set [arbiter volume].

It is strongly recommended to use partitions for GlusterFS volumes that are different from the / partition.
On this example, it shows settings on the environment that all nodes has [sdb1] and mount it to [/glusterfs].

[1] Install GlusterFS Server on All Nodes, refer to here.
[2] Create a Directory for GlusterFS Volume on all Nodes.
root@glus01:~# mkdir -p /glusterfs/replica
[3] Configure Clustering like follows on a node. (it’s OK on any node)
# probe nodes
root@glus01:~# gluster peer probe glus02
peer probe: success.
root@glus01:~# gluster peer probe glus03
peer probe: success.
# confirm status
root@glus01:~# gluster peer status
Number of Peers: 2

Hostname: glus02
Uuid: f2fce535-c10e-41cb-8c9f-c6636ae38eff
State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)

Hostname: glus03
Uuid: 014a1e8f-967d-4709-bac4-ea1de8ef96cb
