Re: [ovirt-users] Persisting glusterfs configs on an oVirt node

I just wasn't sure if I was missing something in the configuration to enable this. I'll stick with the workarounds I have for now and see how it goes. Thanks again.

And was also about to recommend them :) They are more a workaround. We basically need some patches to change the defaults on Node, to let gluster work out of the box. This would include persisting the correct paths and enabling glusterd if enabled. - fabian > Thanks, > > Simon > > -----Original Message----- > From: users-bounces(a)ovirt.org [mailto:users-bounces@ovirt.org] On > Behalf Of Simon Barrett > Sent: 28 May 2014 14:12 > To: Ryan Barry; Fabian Deutsch; Doron Fediuck > Cc: users(a)ovirt.org > Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Persisting glusterfs configs on an oVirt > node > > Thanks for the replies. > > I cannot get glusterd to start on boot and I lose all gluster config every reboot. > > The following shows what I did on the node to start glusterd, create a volume etc, followed by the state of the node after a reboot. > > > [root@ovirt_node]# service glusterd status glusterd is stopped > > [root@ovirt_node]# chkconfig --list glusterd > glusterd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off > > [root@ovirt_node]# service glusterd start Starting glusterd:[ OK ] > > gluster> volume create vmstore 10.22.8.46:/data/glusterfs/vmstore > volume create: vmstore: success: please start the volume to access > data > > gluster> vol start vmstore > volume start: vmstore: success > > gluster> vol info > Volume Name: vmstore > Type: Distribute > Volume ID: 5bd01043-1352-4014-88ca-e632e264d088 > Status: Started > Number of Bricks: 1 > Transport-type: tcp > Bricks: > Brick1: 10.22.8.46:/data/glusterfs/vmstore > > [root@ovirt_node]# ls -1 /var/lib/glusterd/vols/vmstore/ bricks node_state.info trusted-vmstore-fuse.vol cksum > rbstate > vmstore.10.22.8.46.data-glusterfs-vmstore.vol > info > run > vmstore-fuse.vol > > [root@ovirt_node]# grep gluster /etc/rwtab.d/* > /etc/rwtab.d/ovirt:files /var/lib/glusterd > > [root@ovirt_node]# chkconfig glusterd on [root@ovirt_node]# chkconfig --list glusterd > glusterd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off > > > #################################### > I then reboot the node and see the following: > #################################### > > [root@ovirt_node]# service glusterd status glusterd is stopped > > [root@ovirt_node]# chkconfig --list glusterd > glusterd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off > > [root@ovirt_node]# ls -l /var/lib/glusterd/vols/ total 0 > > No more gluster volume configuration files. > > I've taken a look through http://www.ovirt.org/Node_Troubleshooting#Making_changes_last_.2F_Persist... but I'm unsure what needs to be done to persist this configuration. > > To get glusterd to start on boot, do I need to manually persist /etc/rc* files? > > I see "files /var/lib/glusterd" mentioned in /etc/rwtab.d/ovirt. Is this a list of the files/dirs that should be persisted automatically?

I'm getting the impression that it's starting, but that it has no configuration. As far as I know, Gluster keeps most of the configuration on the brick itself, but it finds brick information in /var/lib/glusterd. > > The last patch simply opened the firewall, and it's entirely possible that we need to persist this. It may be a good idea to just persist the entire directory from the get-go, unless we want to try to have a thread watching /var/lib/glusterd for relevant files, but then we're stuck trying to keep up with what's happening with gluster itself... > > Can we > > > > Thanks > > fabian > > > >> Either way I suggest you take a look in the below link- > >> http://www.ovirt.org/Node_Troubleshooting#Making_changes_last_.2F_P > >> er > >> sisting_changes > >> > >> Let s know how it works. > >> > >> Doron > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > Users(a)ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
