11.10. Replacing Hosts
11.10.1. Replacing a Host Machine with a Different Hostname
You can replace a failed host machine with another host that has a different hostname.
Important
Ensure that the new peer has the exact disk capacity as that of the one it is replacing. For example, if the peer in the cluster has two 100GB drives, then the new peer must have the same disk capacity and number of drives.
In the following example the original machine which has had an irrecoverable failure is
server0.example.com
and the replacement machine is server5.example.com
. The brick with an unrecoverable failure is server0.example.com:/rhgs/brick1
and the replacement brick is server5.example.com:/rhgs/brick1
.
- Stop the geo-replication session if configured by executing the following command:
#
gluster volume geo-replication MASTER_VOL SLAVE_HOST::SLAVE_VOL stop force
- Probe the new peer from one of the existing peers to bring it into the cluster.
# gluster peer probe server5.example.com
- Ensure that the new brick
(server5.example.com:/rhgs/brick1)
that is replacing the old brick(server0.example.com:/rhgs/brick1)
is empty. - If the geo-replication session is configured, perform the following steps:
- Setup the geo-replication session by generating the ssh keys:
#
gluster system:: execute gsec_create
- Create geo-replication session again with
force
option to distribute the keys from new nodes to Slave nodes.#
gluster volume geo-replication MASTER_VOL SLAVE_HOST::SLAVE_VOL create push-pem force
- After successfully setting up the shared storage volume, when a new node is replaced in the cluster, the shared storage is not mounted automatically on this node. Neither is the
/etc/fstab
entry added for the shared storage on this node. To make use of shared storage on this node, execute the following commands:# mount -t glusterfs local node's ip:gluster_shared_storage /var/run/gluster/shared_storage # cp /etc/fstab /var/run/gluster/fstab.tmp # echo local node's ip:/gluster_shared_storage /var/run/gluster/shared_storage/ glusterfs defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
For more information on setting up shared storage volume, see Section 11.12, “Setting up Shared Storage Volume”. - Configure the meta-volume for geo-replication:
# gluster volume geo-replication MASTER_VOL SLAVE_HOST::SLAVE_VOL config use_meta_volume true
For more information on configuring meta-volume, see Section 10.3.5, “Configuring a Meta-Volume”.
- Retrieve the brick paths in
server0.example.com
using the following command:# gluster volume info <VOLNAME>
Volume Name: vol Type: Replicate Volume ID: 0xde822e25ebd049ea83bfaa3c4be2b440 Status: Started Snap Volume: no Number of Bricks: 1 x 2 = 2 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: server0.example.com:/rhgs/brick1 Brick2: server1.example.com:/rhgs/brick1 Options Reconfigured: performance.readdir-ahead: on snap-max-hard-limit: 256 snap-max-soft-limit: 90 auto-delete: disable
Brick path inserver0.example.com
is/rhgs/brick1
. This has to be replaced with the brick in the newly added host,server5.example.com
. - Create the required brick path in server5.example.com.For example, if /rhs/brick is the XFS mount point in server5.example.com, then create a brick directory in that path.
# mkdir /rhgs/brick1
- Execute the
replace-brick
command with the force option:# gluster volume replace-brick vol server0.example.com:/rhgs/brick1 server5.example.com:/rhgs/brick1 commit force volume replace-brick: success: replace-brick commit successful
- Verify that the new brick is online.
# gluster volume status Status of volume: vol Gluster process Port Online Pid Brick server5.example.com:/rhgs/brick1 49156 Y 5731 Brick server1.example.com:/rhgs/brick1 49153 Y 5354
- Initiate self-heal on the volume. The status of the heal process can be seen by executing the command:
# gluster volume heal VOLNAME
- The status of the heal process can be seen by executing the command:
# gluster volume heal VOLNAME info
- Detach the original machine from the trusted pool.
# gluster peer detach server0.example.com
- Ensure that after the self-heal completes, the extended attributes are set to zero on the other bricks in the replica.
# getfattr -d -m. -e hex /rhgs/brick1 getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names #file: rhgs/brick1 security.selinux=0x756e636f6e66696e65645f753a6f626a6563745f723a66696c655f743a733000 trusted.afr.vol-client-0=0x000000000000000000000000 trusted.afr.vol-client-1=0x000000000000000000000000 trusted.gfid=0x00000000000000000000000000000001 trusted.glusterfs.dht=0x0000000100000000000000007ffffffe trusted.glusterfs.volume-id=0xde822e25ebd049ea83bfaa3c4be2b440
In this example, the extended attributestrusted.afr.vol-client-0
andtrusted.afr.vol-client-1
have zero values. This means that the data on the two bricks is identical. If these attributes are not zero after self-heal is completed, the data has not been synchronised correctly. - Start the geo-replication session using
force
option:#
gluster volume geo-replication MASTER_VOL SLAVE_HOST::SLAVE_VOL start force
11.10.2. Replacing a Host Machine with the Same Hostname
You can replace a failed host with another node having the same FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name). A host in a Red Hat Gluster Storage Trusted Storage Pool has its own identity called the UUID generated by the glusterFS Management Daemon.The UUID for the host is available in
/var/lib/glusterd/glusterd.info
file.
In the following example, the host with the FQDN as server0.example.com was irrecoverable and must to be replaced with a host, having the same FQDN. The following steps have to be performed on the new host.
- Stop the geo-replication session if configured by executing the following command:
# gluster volume geo-replication MASTER_VOL SLAVE_HOST::SLAVE_VOL stop force
- Stop the
glusterd
service on the server0.example.com.#
service glusterd stop
Important
Ifglusterd
crashes, there is no functionality impact to this crash as it occurs during the shutdown. For more information, see Section 23.3, “Resolvingglusterd
Crash” - Retrieve the UUID of the failed host (server0.example.com) from another of the Red Hat Gluster Storage Trusted Storage Pool by executing the following command:
#
gluster peer status
Number of Peers: 2 Hostname: server1.example.com Uuid: 1d9677dc-6159-405e-9319-ad85ec030880 State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) Hostname: server0.example.com Uuid: b5ab2ec3-5411-45fa-a30f-43bd04caf96b State: Peer Rejected (Connected)Note that the UUID of the failed host isb5ab2ec3-5411-45fa-a30f-43bd04caf96b
- Edit the
glusterd.info
file in the new host and include the UUID of the host you retrieved in the previous step.#
cat /var/lib/glusterd/glusterd.info
UUID=b5ab2ec3-5411-45fa-a30f-43bd04caf96b
operating-version=30703
Note
The operating version of this node must be same as in other nodes of the trusted storage pool. - Select any host (say for example, server1.example.com) in the Red Hat Gluster Storage Trusted Storage Pool and retrieve its UUID from the
glusterd.info
file.#
grep -i uuid /var/lib/glusterd/glusterd.info
UUID=8cc6377d-0153-4540-b965-a4015494461c
- Gather the peer information files from the host (server1.example.com) in the previous step. Execute the following command in that host (server1.example.com) of the cluster.
#
cp -a /var/lib/glusterd/peers /tmp/
- Remove the peer file corresponding to the failed host (server0.example.com) from the
/tmp/peers
directory.#
rm /tmp/peers/b5ab2ec3-5411-45fa-a30f-43bd04caf96b
Note that the UUID corresponds to the UUID of the failed host (server0.example.com) retrieved in Step 3. - Archive all the files and copy those to the failed host(server0.example.com).
#
cd /tmp; tar -cvf peers.tar peers
- Copy the above created file to the new peer.
#
scp /tmp/peers.tar root@server0.example.com:/tmp
- Copy the extracted content to the
/var/lib/glusterd/peers
directory. Execute the following command in the newly added host with the same name (server0.example.com) and IP Address.#
tar -xvf /tmp/peers.tar
# cp peers/* /var/lib/glusterd/peers/
- Select any other host in the cluster other than the node (server1.example.com) selected in step 5. Copy the peer file corresponding to the UUID of the host retrieved in Step 5 to the new host (server0.example.com) by executing the following command:
#
scp /var/lib/glusterd/peers/<UUID-retrieved-from-step5> root@Example1:/var/lib/glusterd/peers/
- Retrieve the brick directory information, by executing the following command in any host in the cluster.
#
gluster volume info
Volume Name: vol Type: Replicate Volume ID: 0x8f16258c88a0498fbd53368706af7496 Status: Started Snap Volume: no Number of Bricks: 1 x 2 = 2 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: server0.example.com:/rhgs/brick1 Brick2: server1.example.com:/rhgs/brick1 Options Reconfigured: performance.readdir-ahead: on snap-max-hard-limit: 256 snap-max-soft-limit: 90 auto-delete: disableIn the above example, the brick path in server0.example.com is,/rhgs/brick1
. If the brick path does not exist in server0.example.com, perform steps a, b, and c.- Create a brick path in the host, server0.example.com.
mkdir /rhgs/brick1
- Retrieve the volume ID from the existing brick of another host by executing the following command on any host that contains the bricks for the volume.
#
getfattr -d -m. -ehex <brick-path>
Copy the volume-id.#
getfattr -d -m. -ehex /rhgs/brick1
getfattr: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names # file: rhgs/brick1 trusted.afr.vol-client-0=0x000000000000000000000000 trusted.afr.vol-client-1=0x000000000000000000000000 trusted.gfid=0x00000000000000000000000000000001 trusted.glusterfs.dht=0x0000000100000000000000007ffffffe trusted.glusterfs.volume-id=0x8f16258c88a0498fbd53368706af7496In the above example, the volume id is 0x8f16258c88a0498fbd53368706af7496 - Set this volume ID on the brick created in the newly added host and execute the following command on the newly added host (server0.example.com).
#
setfattr -n trusted.glusterfs.volume-id -v <volume-id> <brick-path>
For Example:#
setfattr -n trusted.glusterfs.volume-id -v 0x8f16258c88a0498fbd53368706af7496 /rhs/brick2/drv2
Data recovery is possible only if the volume type is replicate or distribute-replicate. If the volume type is plain distribute, you can skip steps 12 and 13. - Create a FUSE mount point to mount the glusterFS volume.
#
mount -t glusterfs <server-name>:/VOLNAME <mount>
- Perform the following operations to change the Automatic File Replication extended attributes so that the heal process happens from the other brick (server1.example.com:/rhgs/brick1) in the replica pair to the new brick (server0.example.com:/rhgs/brick1). Note that /mnt/r2 is the FUSE mount path.
- Create a new directory on the mount point and ensure that a directory with such a name is not already present.
#
mkdir /mnt/r2/<name-of-nonexistent-dir>
- Delete the directory and set the extended attributes.
#
rmdir /mnt/r2/<name-of-nonexistent-dir>
# setfattr -n trusted.non-existent-key -v abc /mnt/r2
# setfattr -x trusted.non-existent-key /mnt/r2
- Ensure that the extended attributes on the other bricks in the replica (in this example,
trusted.afr.vol-client-0
) is not set to zero.#
getfattr -d -m. -e hex /rhgs/brick1 # file: rhgs/brick1
security.selinux=0x756e636f6e66696e65645f753a6f626a6563745f723a66696c655f743a733000 trusted.afr.vol-client-0=0x000000000000000300000002 trusted.afr.vol-client-1=0x000000000000000000000000 trusted.gfid=0x00000000000000000000000000000001 trusted.glusterfs.dht=0x0000000100000000000000007ffffffe trusted.glusterfs.volume-id=0x8f16258c88a0498fbd53368706af7496
Note
You must ensure to perform steps 12, 13, and 14 for all the volumes having bricks fromserver0.example.com
. - Start the
glusterd
service.#
service glusterd start
- Perform the self-heal operation on the restored volume.
#
gluster volume heal VOLNAME
- You can view the gluster volume self-heal status by executing the following command:
#
gluster volume heal VOLNAME info
- If the geo-replication session is configured, perform the following steps:
- Setup the geo-replication session by generating the ssh keys:
#
gluster system:: execute gsec_create
- Create geo-replication session again with
force
option to distribute the keys from new nodes to Slave nodes.#
gluster volume geo-replication MASTER_VOL SLAVE_HOST::SLAVE_VOL create push-pem force
- After successfully setting up the shared storage volume, when a new node is replaced in the cluster, the shared storage is not mounted automatically on this node. Neither is the
/etc/fstab
entry added for the shared storage on this node. To make use of shared storage on this node, execute the following commands:#
mount -t glusterfs <local node's ip>:gluster_shared_storage /var/run/gluster/shared_storage # cp /etc/fstab /var/run/gluster/fstab.tmp # echo "<local node's ip>:/gluster_shared_storage /var/run/gluster/shared_storage/ glusterfs defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
For more information on setting up shared storage volume, see Section 11.12, “Setting up Shared Storage Volume”. - Configure the meta-volume for geo-replication:
#
gluster volume geo-replication MASTER_VOL SLAVE_HOST::SLAVE_VOL config use_meta_volume true
- Start the geo-replication session using
force
option:#
gluster volume geo-replication MASTER_VOL SLAVE_HOST::SLAVE_VOL start force
Replacing a host with the same Hostname in a two-node Red Hat Gluster Storage Trusted Storage Pool
If there are only 2 hosts in the Red Hat Gluster Storage Trusted Storage Pool where the host server0.example.com must be replaced, perform the following steps:
- Stop the geo-replication session if configured by executing the following command:
# gluster volume geo-replication MASTER_VOL SLAVE_HOST::SLAVE_VOL stop force
- Stop the
glusterd
service on server0.example.com.#
service glusterd stop
Important
Ifglusterd
crashes, there is no functionality impact to this crash as it occurs during the shutdown. For more information, see Section 23.3, “Resolvingglusterd
Crash” - Retrieve the UUID of the failed host (server0.example.com) from another peer in the Red Hat Gluster Storage Trusted Storage Pool by executing the following command:
#
gluster peer status
Number of Peers: 1 Hostname: server0.example.com Uuid: b5ab2ec3-5411-45fa-a30f-43bd04caf96b State: Peer Rejected (Connected)Note that the UUID of the failed host isb5ab2ec3-5411-45fa-a30f-43bd04caf96b
- Edit the
glusterd.info
file in the new host (server0.example.com) and include the UUID of the host you retrieved in the previous step.#
cat /var/lib/glusterd/glusterd.info
UUID=b5ab2ec3-5411-45fa-a30f-43bd04caf96b
operating-version=30703
Note
The operating version of this node must be same as in other nodes of the trusted storage pool. - Create the peer file in the newly created host (server0.example.com) in /var/lib/glusterd/peers/<uuid-of-other-peer> with the name of the UUID of the other host (server1.example.com).UUID of the host can be obtained with the following:
# gluster system:: uuid get
Example 11.6. Example to obtain the UUID of a host
For example, # gluster system:: uuid get UUID: 1d9677dc-6159-405e-9319-ad85ec030880
In this case the UUID of other peer is1d9677dc-6159-405e-9319-ad85ec030880
- Create a file
/var/lib/glusterd/peers/1d9677dc-6159-405e-9319-ad85ec030880
in server0.example.com, with the following command:# touch /var/lib/glusterd/peers/1d9677dc-6159-405e-9319-ad85ec030880
The file you create must contain the following information:UUID=<uuid-of-other-node> state=3 hostname=<hostname>
- Continue to perform steps 12 to 18 as documented in the previous procedure.
