Installs and configures GlusterFS on Linux.
For GlusterFS to connect between servers, TCP ports 24007
, 24008
, and 24009
/49152
+ (that port, plus an additional incremented port for each additional server in the cluster; the latter if GlusterFS is version 3.4+), and TCP/UDP port 111
must be open. You can open these using whatever firewall you wish (this can easily be configured using the geerlingguy.firewall
role).
This role performs basic installation and setup of Gluster, but it does not configure or mount bricks (volumes), since that step is easier to do in a series of plays in your own playbook. Ansible 1.9+ includes the gluster_volume
module to ease the management of Gluster volumes.
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml
):
glusterfs_default_release: ""
You can specify a default_release
for apt on Debian/Ubuntu by overriding this variable. This is helpful if you need a different package or version for the main GlusterFS packages (e.g. GlusterFS 3.5.x instead of 3.2.x with the wheezy-backports
default release on Debian Wheezy).
None.
