Building a Gluster filesystem for a Proxmox cluster


Instead of the network RAID 1 device formed by DRBD, we can also place our VMs into a Gluster filesystem.

As we have stated before, we will install three VMs with the CentOS platform for demonstration, based on the following network configuration:

Hostname

VM node

IP address

Subnet mask

Interface

glusterFS1

vmsrv01

192.168.1.51

255.255.255.0

vmbr0

glusterFS2

vmsrv02

192.168.1.52

255.255.255.0

vmbr0

glusterFS3

vmsrv03

192.168.1.53

255.255.255.0

vmbr0

For our practice, we set up three physical servers connected to the same network in which the Proxmox is located; we assign the vmbr0 interface (to know how to configure it, please refer to the network preparation section of this chapter) for them to use. I assume that you have already set up the hostname, IP configuration, and the /etc/hosts file.

Tip

Each VM should have at least 512 MB memory installed.

After the network has been configured, we...
