Chapter 5. Setting Up Storage Volumes

A Red Hat Gluster Storage volume is a logical collection of bricks, where each brick is an export directory on a server in the trusted storage pool. Most of the Red Hat Gluster Storage Server management operations are performed on the volume. For a detailed information about configuring Red Hat Gluster Storage for enhancing performance see, Chapter 20, Tuning for Performance

Warning

Red Hat does not support writing data directly into the bricks. Read and write data only through the Native Client, or through NFS or SMB mounts.

Note

Red Hat Gluster Storage supports IP over Infiniband (IPoIB). Install Infiniband packages on all Red Hat Gluster Storage servers and clients to support this feature. Run the yum groupinstall "Infiniband Support" to install Infiniband packages.

Volume Types

Distributed
Distributes files across bricks in the volume.
Use this volume type where scaling and redundancy requirements are not important, or provided by other hardware or software layers.
See Section 5.5, “Creating Distributed Volumes” for additional information about this volume type.
Replicated
Replicates files across bricks in the volume.
Use this volume type in environments where high-availability and high-reliability are critical.
See Section 5.6, “Creating Replicated Volumes” for additional information about this volume type.
Distributed Replicated
Distributes files across replicated bricks in the volume.
Use this volume type in environments where high-reliability and scalability are critical. This volume type offers improved read performance in most environments.
See Section 5.7, “Creating Distributed Replicated Volumes” for additional information about this volume type.
Arbitrated Replicated
Replicates files across bricks in the volume, except for every third brick, which stores only metadata.
Use this volume type in environments where consistency is critical, but underlying storage space is at a premium.
See Section 5.8, “Creating Arbitrated Replicated Volumes” for additional information about this volume type.
Dispersed
Disperses the file's data across the bricks in the volume.
Use this volume type where you need a configurable level of reliability with a minimum space waste.
See Section 5.9, “Creating Dispersed Volumes” for additional information about this volume type.
Distributed Dispersed
Distributes file's data across the dispersed sub-volume.
Use this volume type where you need a configurable level of reliability with a minimum space waste.
See Section 5.10, “Creating Distributed Dispersed Volumes” for additional information about this volume type.

5.1. Setting up Gluster Storage Volumes using gdeploy
Copiar o link

The gdeploy tool automates the process of creating, formatting, and mounting bricks. With gdeploy, the manual steps listed between Section 6.3 Formatting and Mounting Bricks and Section 6.8 Creating Distributed Dispersed Volumes are automated.
When setting-up a new trusted storage pool, gdeploy could be the preferred choice of trusted storage pool set up, as manually executing numerous commands can be error prone.
The advantages of using gdeploy to automate brick creation are as follows:
  • Setting-up the backend on several machines can be done from one's laptop/desktop. This saves time and scales up well when the number of nodes in the trusted storage pool increase.
  • Flexibility in choosing the drives to configure. (sd, vd, ...).
  • Flexibility in naming the logical volumes (LV) and volume groups (VG).

5.1.1. Getting Started
Copiar o link

Prerequisites

  1. Generate the passphrase-less SSH keys for the nodes which are going to be part of the trusted storage pool by running the following command: 
    # ssh-keygen -f id_rsa -t rsa -N ''
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Set up password-less SSH access between the gdeploy controller and servers by running the following command: 
    # ssh-copy-id -i root@server
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Note

    If you are using a Red Hat Gluster Storage node as the deployment node and not an external node, then the password-less SSH must be set up for the Red Hat Gluster Storage node from where the installation is performed using the following command: 
    # ssh-copy-id -i root@localhost
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. Install ansible by executing the following command:
    • For Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.2.0 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2, execute the following command: 
      # yum install ansible
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  4. You must also ensure the following:
    • Devices should be raw and unused
    • For multiple devices, use multiple volume groups, thinpool and thinvol in the gdeploy configuration file
gdeploy can be used to deploy Red Hat Gluster Storage in two ways::
  • Using a node in a trusted storage pool
  • Using a machine outside the trusted storage pool
Using a node in a cluster

The gdeploy package is bundled as part of the initial installation of Red Hat Gluster Storage.

Using a machine outside the trusted storage pool

You must ensure that the Red Hat Gluster Storage is subscribed to the required channels. For more information see, Subscribing to the Red Hat Gluster Storage Server Channels in the Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.2 Installation Guide.

Execute the following command to install gdeploy: 
# yum install gdeploy

For more information on installing gdeploy see, Installing Ansible to Support Gdeploy section in the Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.2 Installation Guide.

5.1.2. Setting up a Trusted Storage Pool
Copiar o link

Creating a trusted storage pool is a tedious task and becomes more tedious as the nodes in the trusted storage pool grow. With gdeploy, just a configuration file can be used to set up a trusted storage pool. When gdeploy is installed, a sample configuration file will be created at: 
/usr/share/doc/ansible/gdeploy/examples/gluster.conf.sample
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Note

The trusted storage pool can be created either by performing each tasks, such as, setting up a backend, creating a volume, and mounting volumes independently or summed up as a single configuration.
For example, for a basic trusted storage pool of a 2 x 2 replicated volume the configuration details in the configuration file will be as follows:
2x2-volume-create.conf: 
#
# Usage:
#       gdeploy -c 2x2-volume-create.conf
#
# This does backend setup first and then create the volume using the
# setup bricks.
#
#

[hosts]
10.70.46.13
10.70.46.17


# Common backend setup for 2 of the hosts.
[backend-setup]
devices=sdb,sdc
vgs=vg1,vg2
pools=pool1,pool2
lvs=lv1,lv2
mountpoints=/rhgs/brick1,/rhgs/brick2
brick_dirs=/rhgs/brick1/b1,/rhgs/brick2/b2

# If backend-setup is different for each host
# [backend-setup:10.70.46.13]
# devices=sdb
# brick_dirs=/rhgs/brick1
#
# [backend-setup:10.70.46.17]
# devices=sda,sdb,sdc
# brick_dirs=/rhgs/brick{1,2,3}
#

[volume]
action=create
volname=sample_volname
replica=yes
replica_count=2
force=yes


[clients]
action=mount
volname=sample_volname
hosts=10.70.46.15
fstype=glusterfs
client_mount_points=/mnt/gluster
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
With this configuration a 2 x 2 replica trusted storage pool with the given IP addresses and backend device as /dev/sdb,/dev/sdc with the volume name as sample_volname will be created.
For more information on possible values, see Section 5.1.7, “Configuration File”
After modifying the configuration file, invoke the configuration using the command: 
# gdeploy -c conf.txt
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Note

You can create a new configuration file by referencing the template file available at /usr/share/doc/ansible/gdeploy/examples/gluster.conf.sample . To invoke the new configuration file, run gdeploy -c /path_to_file/config.txt command.
To only setup the backend see, Section 5.1.3, “Setting up the Backend ”
To only create a volume see, Section 5.1.4, “Creating Volumes”
To only mount clients see, Section 5.1.5, “Mounting Clients”

5.1.3. Setting up the Backend
Copiar o link

In order to setup a Gluster Storage volume, the LVM thin-p must be set up on the storage disks. If the number of machines in the trusted storage pool is huge, these tasks takes a long time, as the number of commands involved are huge and error prone if not cautious. With gdeploy, just a configuration file can be used to set up a backend. The backend is setup at the time of setting up a fresh trusted storage pool, which requires bricks to be setup before creating a volume. When gdeploy is installed, a sample configuration file will be created at: 
/usr/share/doc/ansible/gdeploy/examples/gluster.conf.sample
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
A backend can be setup in two ways:
  • Using the [backend-setup] module
  • Creating Physical Volume (PV), Volume Group (VG), and Logical Volume (LV) individually

Note

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, the xfsprogs package must be installed before setting up the backend bricks using gdeploy.

5.1.3.1. Using the [backend-setup] Module
Copiar o link

Backend setup can be done on specific machines or on all the machines. The backend-setup module internally creates PV, VG, and LV and mounts the device. Thin-p logical volumes are created as per the performance recommendations by Red Hat.
The backend can be setup based on the requirement, such as:
  • Generic
  • Specific
Generic

If the disk names are uniform across the machines then backend setup can be written as below. The backend is setup for all the hosts in the `hosts’ section.

For more information on possible values, see Section 5.1.7, “Configuration File”
Example configuration file: Backend-setup-generic.conf 
#
# Usage:
#       gdeploy -c backend-setup-generic.conf
#
# This configuration creates backend for GlusterFS clusters
#

[hosts]
10.70.46.130
10.70.46.32
10.70.46.110

# Backend setup for all the nodes in the `hosts' section. This will create
# PV, VG, and LV with gdeploy generated names.
[backend-setup]
devices=vdb
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Specific

If the disks names vary across the machines in the cluster then backend setup can be written for specific machines with specific disk names. gdeploy is quite flexible in allowing to do host specific setup in a single configuration file.

For more information on possible values, see Section 5.1.7, “Configuration File”
Example configuration file: backend-setup-hostwise.conf

Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

5.1.3.2. Creating Backend by Setting up PV, VG, and LV
Copiar o link

If the user needs more control over setting up the backend, then pv, vg, and lv can be created individually. LV module provides flexibility to create more than one LV on a VG. For example, the `backend-setup’ module setups up a thin-pool by default and applies default performance recommendations. However, if the user has a different use case which demands more than one LV, and a combination of thin and thick pools then `backend-setup’ is of no help. The user can use PV, VG, and LV modules to achieve this.
For more information on possible values, see Section 5.1.7, “Configuration File”
The below example shows how to create four logical volumes on a single volume group. The examples shows a mix of thin and thickpool LV creation.

5.1.4. Creating Volumes
Copiar o link

Setting up volume involves writing long commands by choosing the hostname/IP and brick order carefully and this could be error prone. gdeploy helps in simplifying this task. When gdeploy is installed, a sample configuration file will be created at: 
/usr/share/doc/ansible/gdeploy/examples/gluster.conf.sample
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
For example, for a basic trusted storage pool of a 2 x 2 replicate volume the configuration details in the configuration file will be as follows: 
[hosts]
10.0.0.1
10.0.0.2
10.0.0.3
10.0.0.4

[volume]
action=create
volname=glustervol
transport=tcp,rdma

# gdeploy -c conf.txt
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Creating Multiple Volumes

Note

Support of creating multiple volumes only from gdeploy 2.0, please check your gdeploy version before trying this configuration.
While creating multiple volumes in a single configuration, the [volume] modules should be numbered. For example, if there are two volumes they will be numbered [volume1], [volume2]
vol-create.conf 
[hosts]
10.70.46.130
10.70.46.32

[backend-setup]
devices=vdb,vdc
mountpoints=/mnt/data1,/mnt/data2

[volume1]
action=create
volname=vol-one
transport=tcp
replica=yes
replica_count=2
brick_dirs=/mnt/data1/1

[volume2]
action=create
volname=vol-two
transport=tcp
replica=yes
replica_count=2
brick_dirs=/mnt/data2/2
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
With gdeploy 2.0, a volume can be created with multiple volume options set. Number of keys should match number of values. 
[hosts]
10.70.46.130
10.70.46.32

[backend-setup]
devices=vdb,vdc
mountpoints=/mnt/data1,/mnt/data2

[volume1]
action=create
volname=vol-one
transport=tcp
replica=yes
replica_count=2

5.1.7. Configuration File
Copiar o link

The configuration file includes the various options that can be used to change the settings for gdeploy. The following options are currently supported:
With the new release of gdeploy the configuration file has added many more sections and has enhanced the variables in the existing sections.
  • [hosts]
  • [devices]
  • [disktype]
  • [diskcount]
  • [stripesize]
  • [vgs]
  • [pools]
  • [lvs]
  • [mountpoints]
  • {host-specific-data-for-above}
  • [clients]
  • [volume]
  • [backend-setup]
  • [pv]
  • [vg]
  • [lv]
  • [RH-subscription]
  • [yum]
  • [shell]
  • [update-file]
  • [service]
  • [script]
  • [firewalld]
The options are briefly explained in the following list:
  • hosts

    This is a mandatory section which contains the IP address or hostname of the machines in the trusted storage pool. Each hostname or IP address should be listed in a separate line.

    For example: 
    [hosts]
10.0.0.1
10.0.0.2
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • devices

    This is a generic section and is applicable to all the hosts listed in the [hosts] section. However, if sections of hosts such as the [hostname] or [IP-address] is present, then the data in the generic sections like [devices] is ignored. Host specific data take precedence. This is an optional section.

    For example: 
    [devices]
/dev/sda
/dev/sdb
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Note

    When configuring the backend setup, the devices should be either listed in this section or in the host specific section.
  • disktype

    This section specifies the disk configuration that is used while setting up the backend. gdeploy supports RAID 10, RAID 6, and JBOD configurations. This is an optional section and if the field is left empty, JBOD is taken as the default configuration.

    For example: 
    [disktype]
raid6
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • diskcount

    This section specifies the number of data disks in the setup. This is a mandatory field if the [disktype] specified is either RAID 10 or RAID 6. If the [disktype] is JBOD the [diskcount] value is ignored. This is a host specific data.

    For example: 
    [diskcount]
10
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • stripesize

    This section specifies the stripe_unit size in KB.

    Case 1: This field is not necessary if the [disktype] is JBOD, and any given value will be ignored.
    Case 2: This is a mandatory field if [disktype] is specified as RAID 6.
    For [disktype] RAID 10, the default value is taken as 256KB. If you specify any other value the following warning is displayed: 
    "Warning: We recommend a stripe unit size of 256KB for RAID 10"
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Note

    Do not add any suffixes like K, KB, M, etc. This is host specific data and can be added in the hosts section.
    For example: 
    [stripesize]
128
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • vgs

    This section is deprecated in gdeploy 2.0. Please see [backend-setup] for more details for gdeploy 2.0. This section specifies the volume group names for the devices listed in [devices]. The number of volume groups in the [vgs] section should match the one in [devices]. If the volume group names are missing, the volume groups will be named as GLUSTER_vg{1, 2, 3, ...} as default.

    For example: 
    [vgs]
CUSTOM_vg1
CUSTOM_vg2
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • pools

    This section is deprecated in gdeploy 2.0. Please see [backend-setup] for more details for gdeploy 2.0. This section specifies the pool names for the volume groups specified in the [vgs] section. The number of pools listed in the [pools] section should match the number of volume groups in the [vgs] section. If the pool names are missing, the pools will be named as GLUSTER_pool{1, 2, 3, ...}.

    For example: 
    [pools]
CUSTOM_pool1
CUSTOM_pool2
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • lvs

    This section is deprecated in gdeploy 2.0. Please see [backend-setup] for more details for gdeploy 2.0. This section provides the logical volume names for the volume groups specified in [vgs]. The number of logical volumes listed in the [lvs] section should match the number of volume groups listed in [vgs]. If the logical volume names are missing, it is named as GLUSTER_lv{1, 2, 3, ...}.

    For example: 
    [lvs]
CUSTOM_lv1
CUSTOM_lv2
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • mountpoints

    This section is deprecated in gdeploy 2.0. Please see [backend-setup] for more details for gdeploy 2.0. This section specifies the brick mount points for the logical volumes. The number of mount points should match the number of logical volumes specified in [lvs] If the mount points are missing, the mount points will be names as /gluster/brick{1, 2, 3…}.

    For example: 
    [mountpoints]
/rhgs/brick1
/rhgs/brick2
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • brick_dirs

    This section is deprecated in gdeploy 2.0. Please see [backend-setup] for more details for gdeploy 2.0. This is the directory which will be used as a brick while creating the volume. A mount point cannot be used as a brick directory, hence brick_dir should be a directory inside the mount point.

    This field can be left empty, in which case a directory will be created inside the mount point with a default name. If the backend is not setup, then this field will be ignored. In case mount points have to be used as brick directory, then use the force option in the volume section.

    Important

    If you only want to create a volume and not setup the back-end, then provide the absolute path of brick directories for each host specified in the [hosts] section under this section along with the volume section.
    For example: 
    [brick_dirs]
/rhgs/brick1
/rhgs/brick2
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • host-specific-data

    This section is deprecated in gdeploy 2.0. Please see [backend-setup] for more details for gdeploy 2.0. For the hosts (IP/hostname) listed under [hosts] section, each host can have its own specific data. The following are the variables that are supported for hosts. 

    * devices - List of devices to use
* vgs - Custom volume group names
* pools - Custom pool names
* lvs - Custom logical volume names
* mountpoints - Mount points for the logical names
* brick_dirs - This is the directory which will be used as a brick while creating the volume

5.1.9.2. Setting up Samba
Copiar o link

Samba can be enabled in two ways:
  • Enabling Samba on an existing volume
  • Enabling Samba while creating a volume
Enabling Samba on an existing volume

If a Red Hat Gluster Storage volume is already present, then the user has to mention the action as smb-setup in the volume section. It is necessary to mention all the hosts that are in the cluster, as gdeploy updates the glusterd configuration files on each of the hosts.

For example, to enable Samba on an existing volume, add the following details to the configuration file: 
[hosts]
10.70.37.192
10.70.37.88

[volume]
action=smb-setup
volname=samba1
force=yes
smb_username=smbuser
smb_mountpoint=/mnt/smb
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Note

Ensure that the hosts are not part of the CTDB cluster.
Execute the configuration using the following command: 
# gdeploy -c <config_file_name>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Enabling Samba while creating a Volume

If Samba has be set up while creating a volume, the a variable smb has to be set to yes in the configuration file.

For example, to enable Samba while creating a volume, add the following details to the configuration file: 
[hosts]
10.70.37.192
10.70.37.88

[backend-setup]
devices=/dev/vdb
vgs=vg1
pools=pool1
lvs=lv1
mountpoints=/mnt/brick

[volume]
action=create
volname=samba1
smb=yes
force=yes
smb_username=smbuser
smb_mountpoint=/mnt/smb
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Execute the configuration using the following command: 
# gdeploy -c <config_file_name>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Note

In both the cases of enabling Samba, smb_username and smb_mountpoint are necessary if samba has to be setup with the acls set correctly.

5.1.9.3. Setting up CTDB
Copiar o link

gdeploy configuration files for CTDB setup can be written to setup CTDB while creating volumes, or to setup CTDB on existing volumes.
gdeploy provides provision to setup CTDB in three scenarios
  • Setup CTDB on an existing volume
  • Create a volume and setup CTDB
  • Setup CTDB using separate ip addresses for CTDB cluster
Setting up CTDB on an existing volume

To setup CTDB on an existing volume, the volume name of the volume has to be provided along with the action as setup.

For example, to set up CTDB on an existing volume, add the following details to the configuration file: 
[hosts]
10.70.37.192
10.70.37.88

[ctdb]
action=setup
public_address=10.70.37.6/24 eth0,10.70.37.8/24 eth0
volname=vol1
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Execute the configuration using the following command: 
# gdeploy -c <config_file_name>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Setting up CTDB while creating a volume

For example, to set up CTDB while creating a volume, add the following details to the configuration file: 

[hosts]
10.70.37.192
10.70.37.88

[volume]
action=create
volname=ctdb
