Translator protocol/client
Client translator allows you to attach to remote volumes exported by GlusterFS servers.
### Add client feature and attach to remote subvolume of server1 volume client1 type protocol/client option transport-type tcp # for TCP/IP transport option remote-subvolume brick # name of the remote volume end-volume
- transport-type
This option specifies the type of transport to use for reaching the server. They can be tcp, ib-sdp, ib-verbs or unix
- remote-host
This option specifies the hostname or IP address of the remote server.
- remote-port
This option specifies the port number on the remote host to connect to. The default value depends on the transport used (6996 for tcp and 6997 for ib-verbs)
- username and password
These are the specification of authentication information when the login auth module is used on the server.
- remote-subvolume
Since the server can export multiple volumes, this selects the volume name to connect to.
- frame-timeout
This is the timeout value for operation frames to be considered dead before the return. The default is 1800 seconds. Keep this high.
- ping-timeout
This is the timeout in which the server should respond for internal ping operations. The purpose of this option is to disconnect unresponsive servers immediately. The default is 10 seconds.
Client protocol also uses same transport modules that are listed in server protocol volume, above.
