I am planning my new gluster system and tested things out in<br>

Everything is up and running and creating files from client both<br>
replicates and is distributed in the geo cluster.<br>
<br>
The thing I am wondering about is:<br>
When I run: gluster volume geo-replication status<br>
I see both slave nodes one is active and the other is passive.<br>

<br>
In my understanding I thought that if the active slave stopped<br>
working the passive slave should become active and should<br>
continue to replicate from master.<br>
<br>
Am I wrong? Is there just one active slave if it is setup as<br>
a distributed system?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div>The Active/Passive notion is for master node. If gluster1 master node is down  glusterd2 master node will become Active.</div><div>It&#39;s not for slave node.<br></div><div><br></div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
