[Gluster-users] 'Host not connected' when creating a volume on VBox VMs

[Stroppa Daniele (strp)]

Hi all,

I'm trying to deploy a simple GlusterFS cluster on CentOS using Virtualbox. I only have two nodes (gluster-node1 and gluster-node4) with two bricks each and I'm creating a volume with replica level 2.

When I issue the volume create command on gluster-node4 I get this error: 'Host gluster-node1.test not connected'. The glustersd daemon is running on both host and if I check the peer status it returns 'State: Peer in Cluster (Disconnected)' on both host.
I checked the /var/log/glusterfs/etc-glusterfs-glusterd.vol.log file on gluster-node4 and found this error 'E [socket.c:2157:socket_connect_finish] 0-management: connection to 192.168.1.61:24007 failed (No route to host)', but if I try to ping or ssh to the gluster-node1 host it works without any problem.

As far as I can see there is no rule in iptables that would block this connection and I can see a route in the routing table.

# iptables --list -n
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)

(eth1 is an Host-only interface on the Vbox VMs)

Am I missing something? Any suggestions?

Thanks,
