Re: [Gluster-users] Does QEMU offer High Availability

2014-03-18 Thread Daniel Baker

Hi Lucian,

but Glusterfs is at least trying to replicate the QEMU image onto the
other node ?  That's the whole point of the replication isn’t it ?


Thanks for the help,

Dan

 HI all,
 
 If I use QEMU in Glusterfs 3.4.2 can I achieve true High Availability.
 
 If I have two nodes that are clustering a QEMU image and one of them
 goes down will the other QEMU image take its place.
 
 Can I really achieve that ?
 
 
 
 Thanks,
 
 Dan

 Dan,
 
 This is not really a discussion for the gluster lists.
 
 You should ask KVM people, but to answer you briefly:
 - No, KVM is just a hypervisor, it runs virtual machines and that's all 
 it does.
 You need to run additional RedHat clustering stuff around it to achieve 
 HA.

[Gluster-users] gluster bug 991084

2014-03-18 Thread Daniel Baker

Hi All,

I seem to have hit glusterbug 991084

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=991084

I try solution:

(vol=machines; brick=/export/sdb1/brick; setfattr -n
trusted.glusterfs.volume-id -v 0x$(grep volume-id
/var/lib/glusterd/vols/$vol/info | cut -d= -f2 | sed 's/-//g') $brick)
grep: /var/lib/glusterd/vols/machines/info: No such file or directory

And then this :

root@cluster1:/home/admincit# gluster volume start gv0 force
volume start: gv0: failed: Volume id mismatch for brick
192.168.100.170:/export/sdb1/brick. Expected volume id
e9e31a9d-e194-4cbb-851c-a837ebc753d0, volume id
---- found


This has come about because I replaced the HD the brick was on.

Is there another solution I can try or does anyone know what I have to
tweak in the above commands to get this volume id thing sorted ?


Thanks for the help,

Dan

Re: [Gluster-users] Testing Gluster 3.2.4 in VMware

2014-03-11 Thread Daniel Baker
Dear Carlos

I opened up the glusterfs server firewall  to accept all connections
from  my computer :

iptables -I INPUT -p all -s 192.168.100.209 -j ACCEPT

And on my computer to accept all connections from the glusterfs server.

When I try showmount -e localhost

Export list for localhost:
/gv0 *


When I try the same command from my computer I get:


showmount -e 192.168.100.170
Export list for 192.168.100.170:
/gv0 *


When I try from my computer :

sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.100.170:/gv0 /mnt/export

mount.nfs: mount point /mnt/export does not exist

And when I try from my computer:

sudo mount -t glusterfs 192.168.100.170:/gv0 /mnt/export
Usage:  mount.glusterfs volumeserver:volumeid/volumeport -o
options mountpoint
Options:
man 8 mount.glusterfs

To display the version number of the mount helper:
mount.glusterfs --version


So it looks like the volume is there but it doesn’t see the mount point ?

Then I changed tac. I found this tutorial :
http://www.howtoforge.com/high-availability-storage-with-glusterfs-3.2.x-on-debian-wheezy-automatic-file-replication-mirror-across-two-storage-servers


I issued this command on my client computer:

mkdir /mnt/glusterfs

mount.glusterfs 192.168.100.170/gv0 /mnt/glusterfs


This time I did not receive any messages about how to use the gluster
commads. So it looked ok.

However when I issue :

mount

I get this :

/dev/sda2  451G  421G  7.2G  99% /
udev   3.8G  4.0K  3.8G   1% /dev
tmpfs  1.6G 1008K  1.6G   1% /run
none   5.0M 0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
none   3.8G  748K  3.8G   1% /run/shm
cgroup 3.8G 0  3.8G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda1   93M  2.1M   91M   3% /boot/efi
/home/kam270/.Private  451G  421G  7.2G  99% /home/kam270

No mount point to server.

Maybe I need to try adding hostnames in my /etc/hosts ?


Thanks,

Dan

 Hello, Daniel.
 I am also testing gluster on vmware; in my application, it will be a
 secondary datastore for VM images.
 
 So far, I've hit a couple of brick walls, like, for instance, VMware not
 reading volumes created as striped, or striped + replicated. It simply sits
 there, trying, four hours, without errors on either sides.
 
 But your current configuration WILL work.
 
 As a suggestion, to begin with your troubleshooting, try disabling firewall
 and SElinux. nothing to do with your current problem, BUT will matter in
 the near future. After you are sure all works, go back an re-enable/ fine
 tune them.
 
 Now to your problem...
 
 Your first syntax seem to be a bit off,unless it is a typo;
 
 sudo mount.glusterfs 192.168.100.170:gv0 /mnt/export
 
 you see, there is a slash missing after. It should read
 
 sudo mount.glusterfs 192.168.100.170:/gv0 /mnt/export
 
 For the second case, you did not post the error message, so I can only
 suggest you try copying/pasting this:
 
 sudo mount -t glusterfs 192.168.100.170:/gv0 /mnt/export
 
 Now, here is another trick: try mounting wit nfs:
 
 First, make sure your NFS share is really being shared:
 
 # showmount -e 192.168.100.170
 
 Alternatively, if you are on one of the gluster servers, just for testing,
 you may try:
 
 # showmount -e localhost
 
 Make sure your gluster volume is REALLY called gv0.
 
 Now you can try mounting with:
 
 sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.100.170:/gv0 /mnt/export
 
 Again, if you are on one of the servers, try
 
 sudo mount -t nfs localhost:/gv0 /mnt/export
 
 You might want to sudo su to run everything all commands as root, without
 the hassle of sudoing everything.
 
 Give it a try. If nfs works, go for it anyway; It is your only option for
 VMware/esxi anyway.
 
 There are a few more advanced steps on esxi and on gluster, but let's get
 it to work first, right ?
 
 Cheers,

Hi Carlos, some good news.


After discovering with the df command that I was not mounting the server
I headed back to the books:
http://www.gluster.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Gluster_File_System-3.3.0-Administration_Guide-en-US.pdf

It shows in section 6.1 how to get the latest gluster client. I was
using the wrong one:  3.2 . I need the latest 3.4.2.

Now I can mount the cluster from the client

$ df

cluster1:/gv0  16765952 33152  16732800   1% /mnt/glusterfs

I will test adding files and replication tomorrow.


Thanks for your help,


Dan
