Chapter 3 Using Gluster Storage for Oracle Linux

This chapter discusses setting up Gluster trusted storage pools, Gluster volume types and setting them up, monitoring Gluster volumes, and accessing Gluster storage from an Oracle Linux or Microsoft Windows client system.

3.1 Creating the Gluster Trusted Storage Pool

This section shows you how to create a Gluster trusted storage pool. In this example, a pool of three servers is created (node1, node2 and node3). You should nominate one of the nodes in the pool as the node on which you perform pool operations. In this example, node1 is the node on which the pool operations are performed.

To create a Gluster trusted storage pool:

Add the nodes to the pool. You do not need to add the node on which you are performing the pool operations. For example:
```
# gluster peer probe node2
# gluster peer probe node3
```
You can see the status of each node in the pool using:
```
# gluster peer status
```
You can see the nodes in the pool using:
```
# gluster pool list
```

If you need to remove a server from a pool, use:

# gluster peer detach hostname
