gluster - Gluster Console Manager (command line utility)
SYNOPSIS
gluster
To run the program and display gluster prompt:
gluster [--remote-host=<gluster_node>] [--mode=script] [--xml]
(or)
To specify a command directly:

DESCRIPTION
The Gluster Console Manager is a command line utility for elastic volume management. You
can run the gluster command on any export server. The command enables administrators to
perform cloud operations, such as creating, expanding, shrinking, rebalancing, and
migrating volumes without needing to schedule server downtime.

to resync the entire volume on session recreate.
volume geo-replication <MASTER_VOL> <SLAVE_HOST>::<SLAVE_VOL> config [[!]<options>
[<value>]]
View (when no option provided) or set configuration for this geo-replication
session. Use "!<OPTION>" to reset option <OPTION> to default value.
Bitrot Commands
volume bitrot <VOLNAME> {enable|disable}
Enable/disable bitrot for volume <VOLNAME>
volume bitrot <VOLNAME> scrub-throttle {lazy|normal|aggressive}
Scrub-throttle value is a measure of how fast or slow the scrubber scrubs the
filesystem for volume <VOLNAME>
volume bitrot <VOLNAME> scrub-frequency {hourly|daily|weekly|biweekly|monthly}
Scrub frequency for volume <VOLNAME>
volume bitrot <VOLNAME> scrub {pause|resume|status|ondemand}
Pause/Resume scrub. Upon resume, scrubber continues where it left off. status
option shows the statistics of scrubber. ondemand option starts the scrubbing
immediately if the scrubber is not paused or already running.
Snapshot Commands
snapshot create <snapname> <volname> [no-timestamp] [description <description>] [force]
Creates a snapshot of a GlusterFS volume. User can provide a snap-name and a
description to identify the snap. Snap will be created by appending timestamp in
GMT. User can override this behaviour using "no-timestamp" option. The description
cannot be more than 1024 characters. To be able to take a snapshot, volume should
be present and it should be in started state.
snapshot restore <snapname>
Restores an already taken snapshot of a GlusterFS volume. Snapshot restore is an
offline activity therefore if the volume is online (in started state) then the
restore operation will fail. Once the snapshot is restored it will not be available
in the list of snapshots.
snapshot clone <clonename> <snapname>
Create a clone of a snapshot volume, the resulting volume will be GlusterFS volume.
User can provide a clone-name. To be able to take a clone, snapshot should be
present and it should be in activated state.
snapshot delete ( all | <snapname> | volume <volname> )
If snapname is specified then mentioned snapshot is deleted. If volname is
specified then all snapshots belonging to that particular volume is deleted. If
keyword *all* is used then all snapshots belonging to the system is deleted.
snapshot list [volname]
Lists all snapshots taken. If volname is provided, then only the snapshots
belonging to that particular volume is listed.
snapshot info [snapname | (volume <volname>)]
This command gives information such as snapshot name, snapshot UUID, time at which
snapshot was created, and it lists down the snap-volume-name, number of snapshots
already taken and number of snapshots still available for that particular volume,
and the state of the snapshot. If snapname is specified then info of the mentioned
snapshot is displayed. If volname is specified then info of all snapshots
belonging to that volume is displayed. If both snapname and volname is not
specified then info of all the snapshots present in the system are displayed.
snapshot status [snapname | (volume <volname>)]
This command gives status of the snapshot. The details included are snapshot brick
path, volume group(LVM details), status of the snapshot bricks, PID of the bricks,
data percentage filled for that particular volume group to which the snapshots
belong to, and total size of the logical volume.
If snapname is specified then status of the mentioned snapshot is displayed. If
volname is specified then status of all snapshots belonging to that volume is
displayed. If both snapname and volname is not specified then status of all the
snapshots present in the system are displayed.
snapshot config [volname] ([snap-max-hard-limit <count>] [snap-max-soft-limit <percent>])
| ([auto-delete <enable|disable>]) | ([activate-on-create <enable|disable>])
Displays and sets the snapshot config values.
snapshot config without any keywords displays the snapshot config values of all
volumes in the system. If volname is provided, then the snapshot config values of
that volume is displayed.
Snapshot config command along with keywords can be used to change the existing
config values. If volname is provided then config value of that volume is changed,
else it will set/change the system limit.
snap-max-soft-limit and auto-delete are global options, that will be inherited by
all volumes in the system and cannot be set to individual volumes.
snap-max-hard-limit can be set globally, as well as per volume. The lowest limit
between the global system limit and the volume specific limit, becomes the
"Effective snap-max-hard-limit" for a volume.
snap-max-soft-limit is a percentage value, which is applied on the "Effective snap-
max-hard-limit" to get the "Effective snap-max-soft-limit".
When auto-delete feature is enabled, then upon reaching the "Effective snap-max-
soft-limit", with every successful snapshot creation, the oldest snapshot will be
deleted.
When auto-delete feature is disabled, then upon reaching the "Effective snap-max-
soft-limit", the user gets a warning with every successful snapshot creation.
When auto-delete feature is disabled, then upon reaching the "Effective snap-max-
hard-limit", further snapshot creations will not be allowed.
activate-on-create is disabled by default. If you enable activate-on-create, then
further snapshot will be activated during the time of snapshot creation.
snapshot activate <snapname>
Activates the mentioned snapshot.
Note : By default the snapshot is activated during snapshot creation.
snapshot deactivate <snapname>
Deactivates the mentioned snapshot.
snapshot help
Display help for the snapshot commands.
