Description of problem:

I can't create a hot and cold tier by using:

1.
gluster volume tier vmVolume attach replica 2 glusterfs1:/caching/.brickscaching  glusterfs2:/caching/.brickscaching  glusterfs3:/caching/.brickscaching glusterfs4:/caching/.brickscaching  force


or

2.
gluster volume attach-tier vmVolume replica 2  glusterfs1:/caching/.brickscaching  glusterfs2:/caching/.brickscaching  glusterfs3:/caching/.brickscaching glusterfs4:/caching/.brickscaching  force


the ssd drives are mounted to /caching on each node.

when I run the first and current command I get output in /var/log/glusterfs/cli.log

when I run the old version of the tier command I get:

I am running gluster volumes in a bond0 on each node. I want the gluster to have its own network for the volume so its connected to an unmanage switch for now. while the other network 10.x.x.x routes to the internet.

My /etc/hosts in each server contains

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
