<html><head></head><body>Yes, when you reintroduce a machine with the same hostname, you need to insure the uuid in /var/lib/glusterd/<a href="http://glusterd.info">glusterd.info</a> is the same as before. Your mounted brick does not hold this information.<br>
<br>
As you have seen, you can get the uuid for a lost <a href="http://glusterd.info">glusterd.info</a> from another peer's peer files.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On February 19, 2017 7:18:05 AM PST, Scott Hazelhurst <Scott.Hazelhurst@wits.ac.za> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<pre class="k9mail"><br /><br />Dear Atin, Joe<br /><br />Many thanks for your responses. <br /><br />Atin correctly diagnosed the problem — the /var/lib/glusterd/peers directories on all the nodes had a duplicate entry for one of the nodes. Fixing was just a matter of stopping all the gluster daemons, deleting the incorrect entry for the node, and restarting. All is now good.<br /><br />The problem occurred when I had reintroduced a brick : the machine had died, and when I brought up a new machine with the same name & IP address with the old (but good disk) in it, I must have introduced some inconsistency on one of the machines which then propagated to the others.<br /><br />Again, many thanks for the prompt response — it was very helpful in resolving the issue easily.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Scott<br /><br /><br /><br /><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:100%;"> <br /><tr><br /><td align="left" style="text-align:justify;"><font face="arial,sans-serif" size="1" color="#999999"><span style="font-size:11px;">This communication is intended for the addressee only.
