2.3 Enabling Access to the Gluster Storage for Oracle Linux Packages

The glusterfs-server, glusterfs and glusterfs-fuse packages are available on the Oracle Linux yum server in the ol7_gluster312 repository, or on the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) in the ol7_x86_64_gluster312 channel, however there are also dependencies across other repositories and channels, and these must also be enabled on each system where Gluster is installed.

If you are using the Oracle Linux yum server, you must enable the following repositories:

  • ol7_gluster312

  • ol7_addons

  • ol7_latest

  • ol7_optional_latest

  • ol7_UEKR5 or ol7_UEKR4

If you are using ULN, you must enable the following channels:

  • ol7_x86_64_gluster312

  • ol7_x86_64_addons

  • ol7_x86_64_latest

  • ol7_x86_64_optional_latest

  • ol7_x86_64_UEKR5 or ol7_x86_64_UEKR4

Enabling Repositories with ULN

If you are registered to use ULN, use the ULN web interface to subscribe the system to the appropriate channels.

To subscribe to the ULN channels:

  1. Log in to https://linux.oracle.com with your ULN user name and password.

  2. On the Systems tab, click the link named for the system in the list of registered machines.

  3. On the System Details page, click Manage Subscriptions.

  4. On the System Summary page, select each required channel from the list of available channels and click the right arrow to move the channel to the list of subscribed channels. Subscribe the system to the following channels:

    • ol7_x86_64_gluster312

    • ol7_x86_64_addons

    • ol7_x86_64_latest

    • ol7_x86_64_optional_latest

    • ol7_x86_64_UEKR5 or ol7_x86_64_UEKR4

  5. Click Save Subscriptions.

Enabling Repositories with the Oracle Linux Yum Server

To enable the required repositories on the Oracle Linux yum server, ensure that your system is up to date and that you have transitioned to use the modular yum repository configuration by installing the oraclelinux-release-el7 package and running the /usr/bin/ol_yum_configure.sh script.

# yum install oraclelinux-release-el7
# /usr/bin/ol_yum_configure.sh

Install the oracle-gluster-release-el7 release package to install appropriate yum repository configuration.

# yum install oracle-gluster-release-el7

Enable the following repositories:

  • ol7_gluster312

  • ol7_addons

  • ol7_latest

  • ol7_optional_latest

  • ol7_UEKR5 or ol7_UEKR4

Use the yum-config-manager tool to update your yum configuration:

# yum-config-manager --enable ol7_gluster312 ol7_addons ol7_latest ol7_optional_latest ol7_UEKR5

You can now prepare the nodes for installation of the Gluster Storage for Oracle Linux packages. See Section 2.4, “Installing and Configuring Gluster”.
