Hi people,
Now I am using the version of gluster 3.6.2 and I want configure the system for 
fault tolerance. The point is that I want have two server in replication mode 
and if one server down the client do not note the fault. How I need import the 
system in the client for this purpose.

When using a fuse mount, or libgfapi, with a replica volume, fault tolerance is built in. Once mounted, the client connects to every brick in the volume. The only possible issue may be the ping-timeout default of 42 seconds. This is long to give your tcp connection time to recover in the event of a temporary network fault. If your server completely dies, however, the client will have to wait for this timeout. I recommend leaving the timeout long and instead using servers that don't die frequently.

The tip the other guys mentioned have to do with mounting the volume if the first server in the volume is unavailable at the time of mount. Besides backupvolfile-server you can use a round-robin dns entry to resolve mounting if a server is down.
