Hi All, More time for gluster; after much travel in the twisty dark tunnels of OFED, IB, card firmware & upgrades, OS compatibility, etc, I now have a distributed rdma volume over 5 bricks (2 on one server) and it seems to be working well. I would now like to force-unload one brick to emulate a disk upgrade process.
Here's my vol info: --------------------------- Thu Dec 08 11:44:05 [0.08 0.05 0.01] root@pbs3:~ 522 $ gluster volume info Volume Name: glrdma Type: Distribute Status: Started Number of Bricks: 5 Transport-type: rdma Bricks: Brick1: pbs1:/data2 Brick2: pbs2:/data2 Brick3: pbs3:/data2 Brick4: pbs3:/data Brick5: pbs4:/data --------------------------- From the Admin doc, I can do a 'replace-brick' operation but that seems to require an unused brick as when I try to do that to an already incorporated brick, gluster complains that: --------------------------- Thu Dec 08 11:52:12 [0.00 0.01 0.00] root@pbs3:~ 524 $ gluster volume replace-brick glrdma pbs2:/data2 pbs4:/data start Brick: pbs4:/data already in use --------------------------- Is there a process whereby I can clear a brick by forcing the files to migrate to the other bricks? -- Harry Mangalam - Research Computing, OIT, Rm 225 MSTB, UC Irvine [ZOT 2225] / 92697 Google Voice Multiplexer: (949) 478-4487 MSTB Lat/Long: (33.642025,-117.844414) (paste into Google Maps) -- This signature has been OCCUPIED!
