Hi Steven,
Extract from our internal wiki (this is for Debian based machines, so you
would need to swap a few of the commands around for Red Hat):
On all machines in the cluster:
Check that they have entries for each other in /etc/hosts
Execute on all machines in the cluster:
dpkg -i <most_recent_stable_version>
/etc/init.d/glusterd start
On ONE HOST ONLY (doesn't matter which), execute the following commands to
build a distribute/replicate volume:
gluster peer probe <host name of other box - repeat this command for
each box in the cluster other than the one executing the commands>
gluster volume create test-volume replica 2 transport tcp
host1-dns-name:/mnt/physical-storage host1-dns-name:/mnt/physical-storage
gluster volume start test-volume
On the hosts that you want to mount the volume on:
mkdir /mnt/gluster
mount -t glusterfs localhost:/test-volume /mnt/gluster-volume/
Cheers,
Thomas

Subject: [Gluster-users] setting up a "server"
Hi,
I have the install guide and the admin guide....nothing in either that I can
see from the contents pages tells me how to create the first "server" ( I
assume that is what I have to do?)
Is there another doc Im missing? or a good URL for a howto on a redhat based
machine?
Also from what I can see the "free" version is cli only?
and there is no virtual (vmware) appliance?
regards
