Description Joe Julian 2018-07-25 16:45:34 UTC
Description of problem:
cluster.server-quorum-type help text is missing the possible settings in `gluster volume set help`

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. gluster volume set help | grep -A2 cluster.server-quorum-type

Actual results:
Option: cluster.server-quorum-type
Default Value: (null)
Description: This feature is on the server-side i.e. in glusterd. Whenever the glusterd on a machine observes that the quorum is not met, it brings down the bricks to prevent data split-brains. When the network connections are brought back up and the quorum is restored the bricks in the volume are brought back up.


Expected results:
Somewhere it should say what the possible values are and the default should be one of those (null doesn't really tell us what the default does).

Sanju - could you check this?

Comment 2 Shwetha K Acharya 2018-11-03 06:25:31 UTC
According to the documentation https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_gluster_storage/3.4/html/administration_guide/volume_option_table,
the cluster.server-quorum-type value is of datatype string and it can be either none or server. The result is in accordance with the documentation.

May be not a bug?

Please don't mix match upstream vs downstream. The one what you're referring at is a downstream admin guide for RHGS.

gluster volume set help | grep -A2 cluster.server-quorum-type doesn't list down anything in upstream which means it doesn't provide the description of this option which is the bug we need to address.
