Setup of glusterfs server with Ansible

Setup of glusterfs server with Ansible

1. Setup 2 servers using virtualbox.

2. Install openssh-server on 2 servers. Ssh once into the servers before proceeding to add it in the list of known hosts.

3. Install ansible on client.

4. Add in /etc/hosts of client 10.131.125.2 server1 10.131.125.4 server2

5. Ansible uses an inventory file (basically, a list of servers) to communicate with your servers. Like a hosts file (at /etc/hosts) that matches IP addresses to domain names, an Ansible inventory file matches servers (IP addresses or domain names) to groups. Inventory files can do a lot more, but for now, we’ll just create a simple file with one server. Create a file at /etc/ansible/hosts (the default location for Ansible’s inventory file), and add one server to it:

   $ sudo mkdir /etc/ansible $ sudo touch /etc/ansible/hosts

6. Edit /etc/ansible/hosts [web] server1 server2

7. Try ping from ansible sudo ansible web -m ping -u vagrant --ask-pass

Should give success
