Did you create any gluster volumes in Cluster #2, are you seeing any
failures there?<br>
<br>
If that's succeeded you can use the gluster volume for two purposes<br>
<br>
1. Normal Storage<br>
- you can mount the gluster volume from any of nodes(the node could
be any host and need not be part of the gluster cluster). Should
have gluster client packages installed if you want mount the volume
using gluster native, alternatively you can mount the volume as nfs
also.<br>
mount -t glusterfs HOSTNAME-OR-IPADDRESS:/VOLNAME MOUNTDIR<br>
here the HOSTNAME could be any one of your gluster nodes.<br>
Example: <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial,
sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight:
normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 16px; orphans: 2;
text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none;
white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;
-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;
background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: small; display:
inline !important; float: none; "><span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>mount -t glusterfs
server1:/test-volume /mnt/glusterfs<br>
<br>
</span>2. Storage for VMs<br>
<br>
-When you want to use gluster as a an underlying storage for VM's,
you can't simply have a gluster cluster and use it as it is. The
gluster volume can be used as an underlying storage for the VMs.
Select the volume you want to use, click on 'Optimize for Virt' to
change the brick permissions on the nodes(kvm:vdsm). <br>
<br>
-Make sure you Data Center is PosixFS complaint. Create a new
Storage domain and select the storage type as PosixFS. for 'Use
Host' field select any one of your hypervisor fields, for path
'hostname:/volumename' (hostname-any one of your gluster node), and
Vfs Type - gluster. Now you will see the storage domain is created
on top of a gluster volume. Now you can use this Storage Domain for
your VMs. Don't forget to install gluster client packages in your
hypervisor nodes(Cluster #1), this is needed because the gluster
volume will be mounted in the selected hypervisor node('Use Host').<br>
