A presentation for Lightning Talk Nite on Nov. 2nd 2011 in NTTPC Communications. The demo was that I wrote a demo client in Ruby on site in real time.

2. GlusterFS’s Three Es
! Elastic
! Endurable
! Easy-to-build/use/customize

3. Three types of storage basis

4. GlusterFS as File based storage
! NFS version 3
! Gluster Native (FUSE)
! CIFS (with Samba)

5. GlusterFS as Block based storage
! iSCSI (with iSCSI Enterprise Target)
! … unofficial way to use.

6. GlusterFS as Object storage
! RESTful interface
! c.f. NTTPC WebAPI “T4” since 2008

7. Why Object Storage?
<- Petabytes of
Unstructured data
Massive archives
<- that are active

8. Why Object Storage?

9. Installation

10. Installation on CentOS 5
# tar xzf gluster-glusterfs-v3.3.0qa14-0-
g4235f7a.tar.gz
# mv gluster-glusterfs-14eb7f1 glusterfs-3git
# cd glusterfs-3git
# ./configure
# cd ..
# tar czf glusterfs-3git.tar.gz glusterfs-3git
# rpmbuild -ta glusterfs-3git.tar.gz

11. Installation on CentOS 5
# rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/
glusterfs-*
# modprobe fuse
# tar xzf gluster-object-storage-3.3beta2.tar.gz
# cd UFO
# ./centos_install.sh

12. Installation on CentOS 5
# Enter external IP for Storage-Server: 10.1.0.0
# Enter Super Admin key:********
# Enter FileSystem (Press Enter for default Glusterfs):
# Enter Object server port (Press Enter for default 6010):
# Enter Container server port (Press Enter for default 6011):
# Enter Account server port (Press Enter for default 6012):
# Enter '1' for https '2' for 'http' (Recommended is https):1

13. Preparation of GlusterFS
# for i in `seq 1 4`; do gluster peer probe svr$i; done
# gluster volume create auth svr1:/tmp/auth …
# gluster volume start auth
# gluster volume create data svr1:/tmp/data …
# gluster volume start data
# gluster-object-prep -K super_admin_key -A https://10.1.0.0:443/
auth/
# gluster-object-add-user -a -K super_admin_key -A https://
10.1.0.0:443/auth/ data datauser datauser_password
# gluster-object-list -K super_admin_key -A https://10.1.0.0:443/auth/

14. The finished construction
