<html><body><p>Hi:<br><br>I am trying to understand if it is technically feasible to have gluster nodes on one machine, and export a volume from one of these nodes using a nfs-ganesha server installed on a totally different machine? I tried the below and showmount -e does not show my volume exported. Any suggestions will be appreciated.<br><br>1. Here is my configuration:<br><br> Gluster nodes: glusterA and glusterB on individual bare metals - both in Trusted pool, with volume gvol0 up and running.<br>Ganesha node: on bare metal ganeshaA. <br><br>2. my ganesha.conf looks like this with IP address of glusterA in the FSAL. <br><br> FSAL {<br> Name = GLUSTER;<br><br> # IP of one of the nodes in the trusted pool<br> <b> hostname = "WW.ZZ.XX.YY" --> IP address of GlusterA.</b><br><br> # Volume name. Eg: "test_volume"<br> volume = "gvol0";<br> }<br><br>3. I disabled nfs on gvol0. As you can see, <b>nfs.disable is set to on.</b><br><br>[root@glusterA ~]# gluster vol info<br><br>Volume Name: gvol0<br>Type: Distribute<br>Volume ID: 16015bcc-1d17-4ef1-bb8b-01b7fdf6efa0<br>Status: Started<br>Number of Bricks: 1<br>Transport-type: tcp<br>Bricks:<br>Brick1: glusterA:/data/brick0/gvol0<br>Options Reconfigured:<br><b>nfs.disable: on</b><br>nfs.export-volumes: off<br>features.quota-deem-statfs: on<br>features.inode-quota: on<br>features.quota: on<br>performance.readdir-ahead: on<br><br>4.
