GlusterFS servers on RHEL 7 and Centos 7

GlusterFS servers on RHEL 7 and Centos 7

vi /etc/hosts

192.168.1.71 apache1.rmohan.com apache1
192.168.1.72 apache2.rmohan.com apache2
192.168.1.74 apache3.rmohan.com apache3

For this lab, we disabled both firewall and SELinux

vi /etc/selinux/config
egrep “^SELINUX=” /etc/sysconfig/selinux
SELINUX=disabled
systemctl is-enabled firewalld
disabled

systemctl disable firewalld
yum update
yum -y install wget openssh* net-tools ntp
ntpdate -u 0.centos.pool.ntp.org

Before proceeding with the installation, we need to enable both EPEL (Exta Packages for Enterprise Linux) and GlusterFS repositories on both the servers to resolve the external dependencies at the time of installation. If you have enabled only GlusterFS repository and not enabled EPEL repository then it is likely that you will hit the following error message while installing glusterfs-server:
–> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: glusterfs-server-3.7.11-1.el7.x86_64 (glusterfs-epel)
Requires: liburcu-cds.so.1()(64bit)
Error: Package: glusterfs-server-3.7.11-1.el7.x86_64 (glusterfs-epel)
Requires: liburcu-bp.so.1()(64bit)
You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest
EPEL installation
Retrieve EPEL repository : all 3 servers
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-6.noarch.rpm

Gluster installation :
Retrieve GlusterFS repository : all 3 servers
wget -P /etc/yum.repos.d http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/LATEST/RHEL/glusterfs-epel.repo

Download GlusterFS packages : all 3 servers
yum -y install glusterfs-server

Now, start the service and keep it started across reboot :
[root@apache3 ~]# systemctl start glusterd && systemctl enable glusterd
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/glusterd.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/glusterd.service.
[root@apache3 ~]#
Update “/etc/hosts” :
192.168.1.71 apache1.rmohan.com apache1
192.168.1.72 apache2.rmohan.com apache2
192.168.1.74 apache3.rmohan.com apache3

Check the 2 GlusterFS servers

[root@apache1 ~]# gluster peer probe apache2
peer probe: success.
[root@apache1 ~]# gluster peer probe apache3
peer probe: success.
[root@apache1 ~]#

[root@apache2 ~]# gluster peer probe apache3

Create GlusterFS volume
We add 2 new drives from VMware ESXi (in fact, the 3 GlusterFS servers are 3 virtual machines) : do the below commands on all 3 servers
[root@apache1 ~]# for HOST in $(ls /sys/class/scsi_host) ; do echo ‘- – -‘>”/sys/class/scsi_host/$HOST/scan” ; done
[root@apache1 ~]# lsblk -f

Create a directory within the file system on the servers :
mkdir -p /gluster/briks
Create the GlusterFS volume based on those 3 replicas :

gluster volume create appgluster_vol replica 3 apache1:/gluster/briks apache2:/gluster/briks apache3:/gluster/briks

[root@apache1 ~]# gluster volume create appgluster_vol replica 3 apache1:/gluster/briks apache2:/gluster/briks apache3:/gluster/briks
volume create: appgluster_vol: success: please start the volume to access data
[root@apache1 ~]#

Then, start this volume :

[root@apache1 ~]# gluster volume start appgluster_vol
volume start: appgluster_vol: success
[root@apache1 ~]#

[root@apache1 ~]# gluster volume info
