Hello PpenStack peeps. Okay, I'm having a somewhat hard time with a PoC multi-node Swift cluster build from scratch not using any scripts. My infrastructure is VM's and attached volumes to each VM.
(http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/howto_installmultinode.html) I'm running into issues where the instructions start to get really hazy/unclear after step #4 in Configure Proxy Server. It says in step #5 to run a series of commands for each device listed in "/srv/node" but I haven't seen a step prior to step #5 that populates that directory with devices. The volumes attached to the sevrer are listed in /var/Monsoon/___. Also, the Configure Storage Nodes says to do something completely different with each device on each node so I'm thinking this is a Proxy Server thing I'm not getting here. Granted I'm not going to use the Proxy server as a storage node but even if I was, what to do when there is nothing in that directory? Is it run later or not needed or an error in the documentation? Maybe I'll progress beyond this point tomorrow and see what errors I get but I really want to understand the impact of not seeing what I should be seeing and not performing this step because the step seems rather, well, important. :-) The following step (6) says to verify the contents for each ring which means you need to populate the ring first which brings me back to step 5. So I'm thinking I can't really move forward even if I wanted to until content exists and as it stands, there's nothing in there. Thoughts? 1. For every storage device in /srv/node on each node add entries to each ring: export ZONE= # set the zone number for that storage device export STORAGE_LOCAL_NET_IP= # and the IP address export WEIGHT=100 # relative weight (higher for bigger/faster disks) export DEVICE=sdb1 swift-ring-builder account.builder add z$ZONE-$STORAGE_LOCAL_NET_IP:6002/$DEVICE $WEIGHT swift-ring-builder container.builder add z$ZONE-$STORAGE_LOCAL_NET_IP:6001/$DEVICE $WEIGHT swift-ring-builder object.builder add z$ZONE-$STORAGE_LOCAL_NET_IP:6000/$DEVICE $WEIGHT Note Assuming there are 5 zones with 1 node per zone, ZONE should start at 1 and increment by one for each additional node. *Adam Lawson* AQORN, Inc. 427 North Tatnall Street Ste. 58461 Wilmington, Delaware 19801-2230 Toll-free: (888) 406-7620
