Description Dean Bruhn 2012-11-20 21:17:32 UTC

Description of problem:
When using "gluster volume info" at the command line it outputs something similar to this. 

 
Volume Name: VolName
Type: Distributed-Replicate
Volume ID: 8ff49136-5c3c-43fe-ae96-d1f1d172cc2e
Status: Started
Number of Bricks: 3 x 2 = 6
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: Server1Name:/path/to/Storage
Brick2: Server2Name:/path/to/Storage
Brick3: Server3Name:/path/to/Storage
Brick4: Server4Name:/path/to/Storage
Brick5: Server5Name:/path/to/Storage
Brick6: Server6name:/path/to/Storage

This information does not clearly indicate the replications layout. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.3.1

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:

Actual results:


Expected results:
It would be nice to show which servers are replicating to which in this same screen. Maybe adjust the output to show something like. 

Volume Name: VolName
Type: Distributed-Replicate
Volume ID: 8ff49136-5c3c-43fe-ae96-d1f1d172cc2e
Status: Started
Number of Bricks: 6
Number of Replication Groups: 3
Number of Replications Per Group: 2
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1(ReplicationGroup1): Server1Name:/path/to/Storage
Brick2(ReplicationGroup1): Server2Name:/path/to/Storage
Brick3(ReplicationGroup2): Server3Name:/path/to/Storage
Brick4(ReplicationGroup2): Server4Name:/path/to/Storage
Brick5(ReplicationGroup3): Server5Name:/path/to/Storage
Brick6(ReplicationGroup3): Server6name:/path/to/Storage





Additional info:

This would make it much easier to see which servers are replicating to which while troubleshooting.

try lsgvt, a community effort to show glusterfs info in a better way... that addresses the problem.

Hope this is enough as an tool to address this enhancement? If yes, will go ahead and close this bug, with a mention on this tool in our docs)

Closing the bug with WORKSFORME considering comment #1, please reopen if you find that not sufficient.
