NFS Ganesha setup end-to-end ============================ Here we'll see how we can setup NFS Ganesha using gdeploy. We'll be writing a configuration file for the end-to-end setup, right from creating a volume, subscribing to channels and installing the right packages. This configuration file will also create a high availability cluster and export the volume. **Step 1:** Create an empty .conf file with the following:: [hosts] dhcp37-102.lab.eng.blr.redhat.com dhcp37-103.lab.eng.blr.redhat.com [backend-setup] devices=/dev/vdb vgs=vg1 pools=pool1 lvs=lv1 mountpoints=/mnt/brick # Subscribe to necessary channels [RH-subscription1] action=register username= password= pool= [RH-subscription2] action=disable-repos repos= [RH-subscription3] action=enable-repos repos=rhel-7-server-rpms,rh-gluster-3-for-rhel-7-server-rpms,rh-gluster-3-nfs-for-rhel-7-server-rpms,rhel-ha-for-rhel-7-server-rpms #Installing nfs-ganesha [yum] action=install repolist= gpgcheck=no update=no packages=glusterfs-ganesha #Enabling the firewall service and configuring necessary ports [firewalld] action=add ports=111/tcp,2049/tcp,54321/tcp,5900/tcp,5900-6923/tcp,5666/tcp,16514/tcp,662/tcp,662/udp services=glusterfs,nlm,nfs,rpc-bind,high-availability,mountd,rquota #This will create a volume. Skip this section if your volume already exists [volume] action=create volname=ganesha transport=tcp replica_count=2 force=yes #Creating a high availability cluster and exporting the volume [nfs-ganesha] action=create-cluster ha-name=ganesha-ha-360 cluster-nodes=dhcp37-102.lab.eng.blr.redhat.com,dhcp37-103.lab.eng.blr.redhat.com vip=10.70.44.121,10.70.44.122 volname=ganesha **Step 2:** Run this file using:: $gdeploy -c nfs_ganesha1.conf where nfs_ganesha1.conf is the name of our configuration file saved in Step 1. **Step 3:** To see if your volume has been exported, you may run this command on any or all of the nodes:: $showmount -e localhost
