2.7. Managing the glusterd Service
After installing Red Hat Gluster Storage, the
glusterd service automatically starts on all the servers in the trusted storage pool. The service can be manually started and stopped using the glusterd service commands.
Use Red Hat Gluster Storage to dynamically change the configuration of glusterFS volumes without restarting servers or remounting volumes on clients. The glusterFS daemon
glusterd also offers elastic volume management.
Use the
gluster CLI commands to decouple logical storage volumes from physical hardware. This allows the user to grow, shrink, and migrate storage volumes without any application downtime. As storage is added to the cluster, the volumes are distributed across the cluster. This distribution ensures that the cluster is always available despite changes to the underlying hardware.
2.7.1. Manually Starting and Stopping glusterd
Use the following instructions to manually start and stop the
glusterd service.
- Manually start
glusterdas follows:# systemctl start glusterd
or# service glusterd start
- Manually stop
glusterdas follows:# systemctl stop glusterd
or# service glusterd stop
