[Gluster-devel] glusterfs on cluster

[Albert Shih]

Hi all

I'm totaly newbie on glusterfs.

Well I've a cluster (for computation) (with ~30 nodes). On each node I've a
free disk.

What's I want is to have a unify glusterfs (aggregation of all 30 nodes
disk). 

Do you have any example on this ? 

Actually I install glusterfs on each node. Make a configuration like 

***************************

volume brick
  type storage/posix                 
  option directory /_glusterfs      
end-volume

volume server
  type protocol/server
  option transport-type tcp/server 
  option bind-address My_IP_server
  option auth.ip.brick.allow * 
end-volume

***************************

After that I can mount a glusterfs throught glusterfs -f 
/etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-client.vol /mnt

with

volume client
  type protocol/client
  option transport-type tcp/client   
  option remote-host first-node-ip-add
  option transport-timeout 30       
  option remote-subvolume brick    
end-volume


and It's working.

But now I want to unify two space and it's not working 

I made this configuration file 

******************************88

volume noeud01
  type protocol/client
  option transport-type tcp/client     # for TCP/IP transport
  option remote-host noeud01
  option transport-timeout 30
  option remote-subvolume brick
end-volume
volume noeud02
  type protocol/client
  option transport-type tcp/client     # for TCP/IP transport
  option remote-host noeud02
  option transport-timeout 30
  option remote-subvolume brick
end-volume
volume unify
  type cluster/unify
  subvolumes noeud01 noeud02
end-volume

and nothing happen when I'm try to mount this unify volume.

What's wrong ? 

Lots of thanks.

Regards
