Chapter 4. Adding Servers to the Trusted Storage Pool

download PDF
A storage pool is a network of storage servers.
When the first server starts, the storage pool consists of that server alone. Adding additional storage servers to the storage pool is achieved using the probe command from a running, trusted storage server.

Important

Before adding servers to the trusted storage pool, you must ensure that the ports specified in Chapter 3, Considerations for Red Hat Gluster Storage are open.
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, enable the glusterFS firewall service in the active zones for runtime and permanent mode using the following commands:
To get a list of active zones, run the following command:
# firewall-cmd --get-active-zones
To allow the firewall service in the active zones, run the following commands:
# firewall-cmd --zone=zone_name --add-service=glusterfs
# firewall-cmd --zone=zone_name --add-service=glusterfs --permanent
For more information about using firewalls, see section Using Firewalls in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Security Guide: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Security_Guide/sec-Using_Firewalls.html.

Note

When any two gluster commands are executed concurrently on the same volume, the following error is displayed:
Another transaction is in progress.
This behavior in the Red Hat Gluster Storage prevents two or more commands from simultaneously modifying a volume configuration, potentially resulting in an inconsistent state. Such an implementation is common in environments with monitoring frameworks such as the Red Hat Gluster Storage Console, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager, and Nagios. For example, in a four node Red Hat Gluster Storage Trusted Storage Pool, this message is observed when gluster volume status VOLNAME command is executed from two of the nodes simultaneously.

4.1. Adding Servers to the Trusted Storage Pool

The gluster peer probe [server] command is used to add servers to the trusted server pool.

Note

Probing a node from lower version to a higher version of Red Hat Gluster Storage node is not supported.

Adding Three Servers to a Trusted Storage Pool

Create a trusted storage pool consisting of three storage servers, which comprise a volume.

Prerequisites

  • The glusterd service must be running on all storage servers requiring addition to the trusted storage pool. See Chapter 24, Starting and Stopping the glusterd service for service start and stop commands.
  • Server1, the trusted storage server, is started.
  • The host names of the target servers must be resolvable by DNS.
  1. Run gluster peer probe [server] from Server 1 to add additional servers to the trusted storage pool.

    Note

    • Self-probing Server1 will result in an error because it is part of the trusted storage pool by default.
    • All the servers in the Trusted Storage Pool must have RDMA devices if either RDMA or RDMA,TCP volumes are created in the storage pool. The peer probe must be performed using IP/hostname assigned to the RDMA device.
    # gluster peer probe server2
    Probe successful
    
    # gluster peer probe server3
    Probe successful
    
    # gluster peer probe server4
    Probe successful
  2. Verify the peer status from all servers using the following command:
    # gluster peer status
      Number of Peers: 3
    
      Hostname: server2
      Uuid: 5e987bda-16dd-43c2-835b-08b7d55e94e5
      State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)
    
      Hostname: server3
      Uuid: 1e0ca3aa-9ef7-4f66-8f15-cbc348f29ff7
      State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)
    
      Hostname: server4
      Uuid: 3e0caba-9df7-4f66-8e5d-cbc348f29ff7
      State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)

Important

If the existing trusted storage pool has a geo-replication session, then after adding the new server to the trusted storage pool, perform the steps listed at Section 10.5, “Starting Geo-replication on a Newly Added Brick, Node, or Volume”.

Note

Verify that time is synchronized on all Gluster nodes by using the following command:
# for peer in `gluster peer status | grep Hostname | awk -F':' '{print $2}' | awk '{print $1}'`; do clockdiff $peer; done
