10.5. Starting Geo-replication on a Newly Added Brick

Starting Geo-replication for a New Brick on a New Node

1. Run the following command on the master node where password-less SSH connection is configured, in order to create a common pem pub file.

   # gluster system:: execute gsec_create

2. Create the geo-replication session using the following command. The push-pem and force options are required to perform the necessary pem-file setup on the slave nodes.

   # gluster volume geo-replication MASTER_VOL SLAVE_HOST::SLAVE_VOL create push-pem force

   For example:

   # gluster volume geo-replication master-vol example.com::slave-vol create push-pem force

   Note

   There must be password-less SSH access between the node from which this command is run, and the slave host specified in the above command. This command performs the slave verification, which includes checking for a valid slave URL, valid slave volume, and available space on the slave.
3. Start the geo-replication session between the slave and master forcefully, using the following command:

   # gluster volume geo-replication MASTER_VOL SLAVE_HOST::SLAVE_VOL start force

4. Verify the status of the created session, using the following command:

   # gluster volume geo-replication MASTER_VOL SLAVE_HOST::SLAVE_VOL status
