2. Subscribe to Red Hat Storage Native Client.
You must subscribe the system to the Red Hat Storage Native Client channel using either the web interface to Red
Hat Network or the command line rhn-channel command.
A. Using the rhn-channel command.
You can run the rhn-channel command to subscribe the system to the Red Hat Storage Native Client
channel. If your client version is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x, then run the following command to
subscribe:
# rhn-channel --add --channel=rhel-x86_64-server-rhsclient-6
If your client version is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x, then run the following command to subscribe:
# rhn-channel --add --channel=rhel-x86_64-server-rhsclient-5
B. Using the Web Interface to Red Hat Network.
To add a channel subscription to a system from the web interface:
i. Log on to Red Hat Network (rhn.redhat.com).
ii. Move the mouse cursor over the Subscriptions link at the top of the screen, and then
click the Registered Systems link in the menu that appears.
iii. Select the system to which you are adding Red Hat Storage Native Client channel, from
the list presented on the screen, by clicking the name of the system.
iv. Click Alter Channel Subscriptions in the Subscribed Channels section of the screen.
v. On this screen, expand the node for Additional Services Channels for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6 for x86_64 for RHEL 6 or Additional Services Channels for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5 for x86_64 for RHEL 5.
vi. Click the Change Subscriptions button to finalize the changes. After the page
refreshes, select the Details tab to verify if your system is subscribed to the
appropriate channels.
Run the following command to verify if the system is registered successfully.
# rhn-channel –l
rhel-x86_64-server-6
rhel-x86_64-server-rhsclient-6
3. The system is now registered with Red Hat Network and subscribed to the Red Hat Storage Native Client channel.
Now install the native client RPMs using the following command:
# yum install glusterfs glusterfs-fuse
Red Hat Storage volume creation
Once you have created and mounted bricks on all RHS server nodes, you will need to instantiate a few RHS volumes that are
useful for recreating the test setup we describe here. We will create “distribute” and “replicate” (mirrored) flavors of RHS
volumes, specifically:
1. 2, 3, 4-node configurations of Distribute Volumes
2. A 2-node Replicate Volume
3. A 4-node Distribute-Replicate Volume
Before we do, make sure that you have “glusterd” daemon running on each of the Red Hat Storage servers (rhs01,
rhs02, rhs03 and rhs04). Using the gluster peer probe command create the storage cluster from rhs01 server:
rhs01 # gluster peer probe rhs02
rhs01 # gluster peer probe rhs03
rhs01 # gluster peer probe rhs04
