Hi,<br><br>The central storage can export a brick for replication to each of the N servers. Each of the N servers can have afr of a local brick and a brick exported by the server.<br><br>A sample configuration can be,<br><br>
Central storage,<br><br>volume brick-1<br> type storage/posix<br> option directory /storage/1<br>end-volume<br><br>volume brick-2<br> type storage/posix<br> option directory /storage/2<br>end-volume<br>.<br>.<br>
.<br>.<br>.<br><br>volume brick-n<br> type storage/posix<br> option directory /storage/n<br>end-volume<br><br>volume server<br> type protocol/server<br> option transport-type socket<br> subvolumes brick-1 brick-2 . . . brick-n<br>
auth.ip.brick-1.allow <server-1 ip address><br> auth.ip.brick-2.allow <server-2 ip address><br> .<br> .<br> .<br> auth.ip.brick-n.allow <server-n ip address><br>end-volume<br><br>Each of the server can have glusterfs client as,<br>
volume local-storage<br> type storage/posix<br> option directory /storage/local/<br>end-volume<br><br>volume client<br> type protocol/client<br> option transport-type socket<br> option remote-host <ip address of Central storage><br>
option remote-subvolume <name of the brick exported by the central storage corresponding to this server><br>end-volume<br><br>you can experiment with this configuration along with performance translators.<br><br>regards,<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I am new to this list, and would like to find out if GlusterFS can serve<br>
the following need.<br>
<br>
I have N servers running some services that log to local disk on each server and I need the content of these local logs to be replicated in "close-to-real-time" to some central storage to be accessible by other tools.<br>
<br>
Can I use GlusterFS for this purpose? If so, could you point me to a<br>
sample configuration setup?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
<br>
Serge<br>
