    You must use the key pair that was selected or created when launching the instance.
    For example, the key pair file name is rhs-aws.pem, and the Public DNS is ec2-user@ec2-23-20-52-123.compute-1.amazonaws.com: 
    # ssh -i rhs-aws.pem ec2-user@ec2-23-20-52-123.compute-1.amazonaws.com
# sudo su
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  8. Verify that the glusterd daemon is running on the instance using the following command:
    # service glusterd status

    Note
