script. See Chapter 6, Automating configuration for details.
Chapter 3. Prerequisites
- The firewall rules, if any, present on the system. The default option is to allow the Console's setup script to configure the firewall automatically; this overwrites any existing settings. To integrate the existing settings with the firewall rules required by the Console, you must configure the firewall manually. If you choose to manually configure the firewall, the setup script provides a custom list of ports that need to be opened, based on the options selected during setup.
- The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the system on which the Console is to be installed. The default value is the system's current host name. The FQDN must be reachable from all the Red Hat Gluster Storage Nodes.
- The password you use to secure the Red Hat Gluster Storage Console administration account.
- The location of the database server to be used as the Console database. You can use the setup script to install and configure a local database server; this is the default setting. Alternatively, use an existing remote database server. This database must be created before the Console is configured. To use a remote database server you must know:
- The host name of the system on which the remote database server exists.
- The port on which the remote database server is listening. The default port is 5432.
- That the
uuid-ossp
extension had been loaded by the remote database server.
You must also know the name of the database, and the user name and password of a user that has permissions on the remote database server. The default name for both the database and the user isredhat
. - The organization name to use when creating the Console's security certificates. The default value is an automatically-detected domain-based name.

packages are installed.
rhsc-setup
utility.
Procedure 8.1. Manually Preparing a PostgreSQL Database Server for use with Red Hat Gluster Storage Console
- Initialize the database and start the postgreSQL service by running the commands:
# service postgresql initdb # service postgresql start
- Create a postgreSQL user for the Red Hat Gluster Storage Console to use when it reads from and writes to the database, and a database to store information about the environment in. This step is required on both local and remote manually configured database servers.
# su - postgres $ psql postgres=# create user USER password 'PASSWORD'; postgres=# create database DATABASE owner USER;
- Make sure that database can be accessed remotely by enabling client authentication. This step is required on manually configured remote database servers. Edit the
/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
file, and add this line:host all all X.X.X.X/24 trust
Replace X.X.X.X with the IP address of the Console server. - Allow TCP/IP connections to the database. This step is required on manually configured remote database servers. Edit the
/var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
file, and add this line:listen_addresses='*' port = 5432
This example makes postgreSQL listen for connections on all interfaces. You can specify an interface by giving its IP address.This requires a restart of the postgreSQL server. - Restart the
postgres
service. This step is required on both local and remote manually configured database servers.service postgresql restart
Procedure 8.2. Configuring the Manager to use a Manually Configured Local or Remote PostgreSQL Database
- During the Red Hat Gluster Storage Console installation using the
rhsc-setup
utility, you are prompted to decide where the database is located.Where is the database located? (Local, Remote) [Local]:
The steps involved in manually configuring the Red Hat Gluster Storage Console to use remote and local databases are the same, except that to use a remotely hosted database, you need to provide the hostname of the remote database server, and the port it is listening on. - If you are using a remote manually configured database, supply the
rhsc-setup
utility with the hostname of the database server and the port it is listening on.Database host [localhost]: Database port [5432]:
- In either case, you are prompted to confirm whether the database uses a secured connection. Provide a username and password for the newly configured database.
Database secured connection (Yes, No) [No]: Database name [engine]: Database user [engine]: Database password:
Note
Using a secured connection to the database requires you to have also manually configured secured database connections.
