[Gluster-users] /etc/hosts entry requires for gluster servers?

[ML mail]

Well the weird thing is that my DNS resolver servers are configured correctly and working fine. Here below is the exact error message from the brick log file:

[2015-03-03 11:34:21.731639] E [common-utils.c:223:gf_resolve_ip6] 0-resolver: getaddrinfo failed (Name or service not known)
[2015-03-03 11:34:21.731654] E [name.c:249:af_inet_client_get_remote_sockaddr] 0-glusterfs: DNS resolution failed on host gfs1.intra.domain.com
[2015-03-03 11:34:21.731707] E [glusterfsd-mgmt.c:1601:mgmt_rpc_notify] 0-glusterfsd-mgmt: failed to connect with remote-host: gfs1.intra.domain.com (Success)
[2015-03-03 11:34:21.731724] I [glusterfsd-mgmt.c:1607:mgmt_rpc_notify] 0-glusterfsd-mgmt: Exhausted all volfile servers

I checked in my /etc/hosts file and I have the following entry:


127.0.1.1	gfs1.intra.domain.com	gfs1a

This is Debian's default and did not touch the hosts file. I also tried to remove this 127.0.1.1 but nothing changed.

Hi ML,

Here's what I have noted down in my personal documentation when I installed GlusterFS the first time in 2013 (also on Debian Wheezy with 3.5.2):

"All cluster nodes MUST resolve each other through DNS (preferred) or /etc/hosts."
An entry in /etc/hosts is probably even more safe because you don't depend on external DNS resolvers.
cheers,ck
