Hello,
I have a 3 node Hyperconverged setup with gluster and added 3 new nodes to the cluster for
a total of 6 servers.
I am now taking advantage of more compute power but cant scale out my storage volumes.
Current Hyperconverged setup:
-
host1.mydomain.com ---> Bricks: engine data1 vmstore1
-
host2.mydomain.com ---> Bricks: engine data1 vmstore1
-
host3.mydomain.com ---> Bricks: engine data1 vmstore1
From these 3 servers we get the following Volumes:
- engine(host1:engine, host2:engine, host3:engine)
- data1 (host1:data1, host2:data1, host3:data1)
- vmstore1 (host1:vmstore1, host2:vmstore1, host3:vmstore11)
The following are the newly added servers to the cluster, however as you can see there are
no gluster bricks
-
host4.mydomain.com
-
host5.mydomain.com
-
host6.mydomain.com
I know that the bricks must be added in sets of 3 and per the first 3 hosts that is how it
was deployed thru the web UI.
Questions:
-how can i extend the gluster volumes engine, data1 and vmstore using host4, host5 and
host6?
-Do I need to configure gluster volumes manually through the OS CLI in order for them to
span amongst all 6 servers?
-If I configure the fail storage scenario manually will oVirt know about it?, will it
still be hyperconverged?
I have only seen 3 host hyperconverged setup examples with gluster, but have not found
examples for 6, 9 or 12 host cluster with gluster.
I know it might be a lack of understanding from my end on how ovirt and gluster integrate
with one another.
If you can point me in the right direction would be great.
thanks,
