[Gluster-users] Gluster client version vs gluster server

[Strahil Nikolov]

Hi,
In gluster the servers can run with newer version in a backward compatibility mode - a.k.a op-version.Check this article and ensure that client op version is not smaller than the cluster one.https://docs.gluster.org/en/v3/Upgrade-Guide/op_version/ .In best scenario, just download the packages from gluster’s repo and ensure all clients and servers have the same version.
Also, you can build your own rpms by following https://docs.gluster.org/en/main/Developer-guide/Building-GlusterFS/  if you don’t want the precompiled binaries: https://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/LATEST/ 

Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov

Hi all

I have a RHEL machine with gluster 7.9 installed, which is the one from EPEL. Also, I have a set of debian machines running glusterfs server/cluster with version 9.3. Is it likely to work well with this combination or should everything be the same version? That might be a bit hard across distros. Also, RHEL just sells gluster, since it's such a nice feature so they find it hard to not charge us USD 4500 per year per node for it, plus the price difference between an edu license and a full license, per node. Well, we can probably use that money for something else, but we're not quite ready to leave rhel yet (not my fault). So - would these different versions be compatible or what would the potential problems be to mix them like described?
