<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve setup a Gluster environment using CentOS 6.2 and GlusterFS 3.3 beta4 and the new type of volume striped + replicated. My go is to use it to run Virtual Machines (.vmdk files).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Volume is created fine and the ESXi server mountw the Datastore using Gluster built-in NFS, however when trying to use the Datastore or even read, it hangs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Looking at the Gluster NFS logs I see: <span style="font-family:"Courier New"">“[socket.c:195:__socket_rwv] 0-socket.nfs-server: readv failed (Connection reset by peer)”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In order to get the rpm files installed I had first to install these two because of the some libraries: “<span style="font-family:"Courier New"">compat-readline5-5.2-17.1.el6.x86_64”.rpm</span> and “<span style="font-family:"Courier New"">openssl098e-0.9.8e-17.el6.centos.x86_64.rpm”.</span>Not
sure if it has anything to do with that.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone ever used Gluster as a backend storage for ESXi ? Does it actually work ?<o:p></o:p></p>
