Doc Text:
Gdeploy is a tool which automates the process of creating, formatting, and mounting bricks. When setting-up a fresh cluster, gdeploy could be the preferred choice of cluster set up, as manually executing numerous commands can be error prone. The advantages of using gdeploy includes automated brick creation, flexibility in choosing the drives to configure (sd, vd, ...) and flexibility in naming the logical volumes (LV) and volume groups (VG).

Description Sachidananda Urs 2015-07-31 06:47:02 UTC 
Description of problem:

Currently setting up thinp backend is a long process with:

* Different inputs for JBOD, RAID6, RAID10 ...
* Multiple commands till we have a thin provisioned LV and creating a FS on it.

With the increase of number of servers, this task becomes quite time consuming.


Proposed solution:

* Ansible based tool to deploy GlusterFS.

Version 0.1 will support:

* Setup backend on N number of nodes.
* Create a volume (peer probe, vol create)
* Start and mount the volume.
* Mount the clients.

Repository:

* Currently upstream at: https://github.com/nandajavarma/gluster-deploy/wiki/Gluster-Deploy

Comment 5 Sachidananda Urs 2015-09-15 11:59:12 UTC 
gdeploy is a new tool developed using ansible, to help in setting backend, creating volume, and deploying gluster usecases.

Setting up a backend filesystem for GlusterFS becomes a tedious task as  the number of servers/bricks increase. GlusterFS being a highly scalable software solution, provides the user ability to create a storage cluster with large number of nodes. gdeploy solves these problems and adds more features like creating volume, adding bricks, removing bricks, ...
