4.14. Setting Up Clients to Access Data
- NFS and SMB clients
The NFS and SMB protocols are available for use, but due to limitations in the network configuration these protocols cannot be made highly available with CTDB or Pacemaker as would be normally recommended.
Prerequisites
You must ensure to register and subscribe your system before installing Native Client. Instructions for registering the system is available at: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Storage/3.1/html/Administration_Guide/chap-Accessing_Data_-_Setting_Up_Clients.html#Installing_Native_Client.

# yum -y install glusterfs-fuse attr
4.14.2. Mounting Red Hat Gluster Storage Volumes

# mkdir -p /rhgs/client/myvol
# sh -c 'echo "rhgs-primary-n01:myvol /rhgs/client/myvol \ glusterfs defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab'
4.14.3. Testing Mounted Volumes
Test the mounted volume by running the following command:
# mount /rhgs/client/myvol'
