Hi, I was trying to setup glusterfs 3.7.4-2 on CentOS 6.7 on Microsoft Azure. We are fortunate to receive service from Microsoft Bizspark program for startups. Unfortunately, we are forced to run the virtual machines on separate Azure accounts. This in turn causes the VM's not being able to ping each other.
Reading the gluster documentation at http://gluster.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Install-Guide/Configure/ it says "For the Gluster to communicate within a cluster either the firewalls have to be turned off or enable communication for each server." In my case this is impossible because the VM's under different Azure accounts are unable to ping each other. This restriction is a design choice Microsoft has made. The needed glusterfs service ports are open between the VM's. What could be a remedy to this problem? Here's detailed information about my setup: (on hostA) # gluster peer status Number of Peers: 1 Hostname: hostB.domain Uuid: 7e468940-97e5-4595-a835-5eeedae07770 State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) (on hostB) # gluster peer status Number of Peers: 1 Hostname: hostA.domain Uuid: 1a5a62a8-4e08-4f06-9f5d-e159a2f7e5c9 State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) (on hostA) # gluster volume create home replica 2 hostA.domain:/data/home/gv0 hostB.domain:/data/home/gv0 volume create: home: failed: Host hostA.domain is not in 'Peer in Cluster' state (/var/log/glusterfs/etc-glusterfs-glusterd.vol.log) [2015-09-22 07:54:36.374674] I [MSGID: 106487] [glusterd-handler.c:1402:__glusterd_handle_cli_list_friends] 0-glusterd: Received cli list req [2015-09-22 07:59:08.515867] E [MSGID: 106452] [glusterd-utils.c:5569:glusterd_new_brick_validate] 0-management: Host hostA.domain is not in 'Peer in Cluster' state [2015-09-22 07:59:08.515896] E [MSGID: 106536] [glusterd-volume-ops.c:1273:glusterd_op_stage_create_volume] 0-management: Host hostA.domain is not in 'Peer in Cluster' state [2015-09-22 07:59:08.515908] E [MSGID: 106301] [glusterd-syncop.c:1274:gd_stage_op_phase] 0-management: Staging of operation 'Volume Create' failed on localhost : Host hostA.domain is not in 'Peer in Cluster' state Best regards, Aki
