Thanks,
This helps a lot... if we move off of GlusterSP and use GlusterFS (which it
looks like we might have to do since SP doesn't give you root access) then I
can attempt this method. Any advice for how to re-balance the volume once
this is done? Is there a command I need to call?
Thanks,
Drew

Subject: Re: [Gluster-users] Expanding a Volume with GlusterSP
Hi Drew,
Gluster Platform 3.0.X doesn't have straight forward way for volume
expansion. Its required to do manual change in files,
1. /GLUSTER/volumes.xml on all servers and /GLUSTER/global-volumes.xml
file in server1.
2. Creating volume exports directory under data partition mount
points(/exports/DISKPARTITION/) in new servers.
3. Editing /etc/glusterfs/*VOLUME*.vol files in all servers and have same
copy in new servers.
All the above steps should be done when the volume is offline.
Thanks,
Regards,
Bala

I have recently setup GlusterSP and I was able to get it up and running
with
2 machines (mirrored) as a single volume.
Adding additional nodes to the cluster seemed easy enough and I have
added 2
more nodes but I cannot seem to add them to my existing volume. Does
anyone
have any instructions for how to expand a pre-existing mirrored volume
and
add additional capacity to it? The user interface does not seem to let
you
expand a volume dynamically. I know there is a way to do this in the
standard
GlusterFS but I don't remember the process and I think it involved manual
processes and some scripts for re-balancing the data. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Drew
