Re: [Gluster-users] Adding storage capacity to a production disperse volume
Hi Strahil, Sorry for the latin reply. I did not catch this response until just now. For the "What do you mean with one unit ?" I meant making 5 bricks (of equal size of the original 5) within that unit and adding that to the existing gluster volume "Number of Bricks: 1 x (4 + 1) = 5". Those 5 bricks just happen to be individual storage units. Thanks, Ted On Thu, Mar 28, 2024 at 4:28 PM Theodore Buchwald wrote: > Hello, > > And thank you to the users of the group.

Re: [Gluster-users] Adding storage capacity to a production disperse volume
Hello, And thank you to the users of the group. That clarified what I was wondering and answered my question on the additional storage space. I had another question in regard to adding a unit to this gluster disperse setup. I may be able to add a large capacity JBOD to this gluster configuration. So I would be able to divide the single storage unit into 5 bricks of the same size of each of the existing 5 bricks that are configured in the gluster cluster. My question is this possible to do with one unit and add to the single volume "Volume Name: researchdata" in my existing setup? Reading documentation on adding to a disperse volume I am not sure on how to proceed with this type of addition. Thanks Tbuck!

Re: [Gluster-users] Adding storage capacity to a production disperse volume
Hi, This is dispersed volume - the number of bricks added must match the number of bricks defined, so in your case 5 bricks.By the way, check this thread on the topic: https://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2018-July/034491.html Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov On Sun, Mar 17, 2024 at 20:38, Theodore Buchwald wrote: Hi, This is the first time I have tried to expand the storage of a live gluster volume.

Re: [Gluster-users] Adding storage capacity to a production disperse volume
Hi Theodore, Is this a dispersed volume ?Can you share the whole volume info ?

[Gluster-users] Adding storage capacity to a production disperse volume
Hi, This is the first time I have tried to expand the storage of a live gluster volume. I was able to get another supermicro storage unit for a gluster cluster that I built. The current clustered storage configuration contains five supermicro units. And the cluster volume is setup with the following configuration: node-6[/var/log/glusterfs]# gluster volume info Volume Name: researchdata Type: Disperse Volume ID: 93d4-482a-8933-2d81298d5b3b Status: Started Snapshot Count: 0 Number of Bricks: 1 x (4 + 1) = 5 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: node-1:/mnt/data/researchdata-1 Brick2: node-2:/mnt/data/researchdata-2 Brick3: node-3:/mnt/data/researchdata-3 Brick4: node-4:/mnt/data/researchdata-4 Brick5: node-5:/mnt/data/researchdata-5 Options Reconfigured: features.quota-deem-statfs: on features.inode-quota: on features.quota: on storage.fips-mode-rchecksum: on transport.address-family: inet nfs.disable: on locks.mandatory-locking: optimal Adding the node to the cluster was no problem. But adding a brick using 'add-brick' to the volume resulted in "volume add-brick: failed: Incorrect number of bricks supplied 1 with count 5". So my question is. What would be the correct amount of bricks needed to expand the storage on the current configuration of 'Number of Bricks: 1 x (4 + 1) = 5'? Without reconfiguring the volume all together. Thanks in advance for any pointers in how to expand this volume's storage capabilities.
