Hi Chaica,

This primarily means that the RPC communtication between the master gsyncd
module and slave gsyncd module is broken, this could happen to various
reasons. Check if it satisies all the pre-requisites:

- If FUSE is installed in the machine, since Geo-replication module mounts
the GlusterFS volume using FUSE to sync data.
- If the Slave is a volume, check if the volume is started.
- If the Slave is a plain directory, check if the directory has been created
already with the desired permissions (Not applicable in your case)
- If Glusterfs 3.2 is not installed in the default location (in Master) and
has been prefixed to be installed in a custom location, configure the *
gluster-command*  for it to point to exact location.
- If Glusterfs 3.2 is not installed in the default location (in slave) and
has been prefixed to be installed in a custom location, configure the *
remote-gsyncd-command*  for it to point to exact place where gsyncd  is
located.
- locate the slave log and see if it has any anomalies.
- Passwordless SSH is set up properly between the host and the remote
machine ( Not applicable in your case)

The documentation for troubleshooting
geo-replication<http://gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.2:_Troubleshooting_Geo-replication>
has few more suggestions.
