Preperation for GlusterFS
Steps to do before installing and using GlusterFS
Preparation
Before we can set up GlusterFS we need to set up the NTP protocol for the servers. Due to the file operations on distributed servers, any operation (read/write) has a time stamp. If the servers are not synchronous to each other, files can/will be distributed/replicated wrong.
Setup NTP
Make sure both servers have the same time zone and NTP is installed on both servers.
Switching to ntpd
Linux has already a time controller. However, we are making sure that the servers are using NTP.
Disable TimeDateCtl
NTP
Install NTP
Verify if everything is working.
