Hi Soumya,

thank you very much for your reply.

I enabled pcsd during setup and after reboot during troubleshooting I manually started it and checked resources (pcs status). They were not running. I didn’t find what was wrong but I’m going to try it again.

I’ve thoroughly checked
http://gluster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Administrator%20Guide/NFS-Ganesha%20GlusterFS%20Integration/
and I can confirm that I followed all steps with one exception. I installed following RPMs:
glusterfs-server
glusterfs-fuse
glusterfs-cli
glusterfs-ganesha
nfs-ganesha-xfs

and the guide referenced above specifies:
glusterfs-server
glusterfs-api
glusterfs-ganesha

glusterfs-api is a dependency of one of RPMs that I installed so this is not a problem. But I cannot find any mention to install nfs-ganesha-xfs.

I’ll try to setup the whole environment again without installing nfs-ganesha-xfs (I assume glusterfs-ganesha has all required binaries).

Again, thank you for you time to answer my previous message.

Kind regards,
Adam

Hi Gluster users,

First, I'd like to thank you all for this amazing open-source! Thank you!

I'm working on home project – three servers with Gluster and
NFS-Ganesha. My goal is to create HA NFS share with three copies of each
file on each server.

My systems are CentOS 7.3 Minimal install with the latest updates and
the most current RPMs from "centos-gluster310" repository.

I followed this tutorial:
http://blog.gluster.org/2015/10/linux-scale-out-nfsv4-using-nfs-ganesha-and-glusterfs-one-step-at-a-time/
(second half that describes multi-node HA setup)

with a few exceptions:

1. All RPMs are from "centos-gluster310" repo that is installed by "yum
-y install centos-release-gluster"
2. I have three nodes (not four) with "replica 3" volume.
3. I created empty ganesha.conf and not empty ganesha-ha.conf in
"/var/run/gluster/shared_storage/nfs-ganesha/" (referenced blog post is
outdated, this is now requirement)
4. ganesha-ha.conf doesn't have "HA_VOL_SERVER" since this isn't needed
anymore.

Please refer to http://gluster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Administrator%20Guide/NFS-Ganesha%20GlusterFS%20Integration/

It is being updated with latest changes happened wrt setup.

When I finish configuration, all is good. nfs-ganesha.service is active
and running and from client I can ping all three VIPs and I can mount
NFS. Copied files are replicated to all nodes.

But when I restart nodes (one by one, with 5 min. delay between) then I
cannot ping or mount (I assume that all VIPs are down). So my setup
definitely isn't HA.

I found that:
# pcs status
Error: cluster is not currently running on this node

This means pcsd service is not up. Did you enable (systemctl enable pcsd) pcsd service so that is comes up post reboot automatically. If not please start it manually.

and nfs-ganesha.service is in inactive state. Btw. I didn't enable
"systemctl enable nfs-ganesha" since I assume that this is something
that Gluster does.

Please check /var/log/ganesha.log for any errors/warnings.

We recommend not to enable nfs-ganesha.service (by default), as the shared storage (where the ganesha.conf file resides now) should be up and running before nfs-ganesha gets started.
So if enabled by default it could happen that shared_storage mount point is not yet up and it resulted in nfs-ganesha service failure. If you would like to address this, you could have a cron job which keeps checking the mount point health and then start nfs-ganesha service.

Thanks,
Soumya

I assume that my issue is that I followed instructions in blog post from
2015/10 that are outdated. Unfortunately I cannot find anything better –
I spent whole day by googling.

Would you be so kind and check the instructions in blog post and let me
know what steps are wrong / outdated? Or please do you have more current
instructions for Gluster+Ganesha setup?

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Adam
