realdannys1: I'm trying to get my first use of Gluster up and running on EC2, I picked two 64 bit versions of Amazon's Linux and I followed the instructions at both http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Getting_started_configure and http://serverfault.com/questions/479576/installing-glusterfs-on-amazon-ec2 which offered some Ec2 help. I managed to probe the other instance, but now I try to create the volume the terminal sits for a while. I get no error message but when I type to check volumes it says "no volumes present"

realdannys1: Hmmm, I've tried everything but it just pauses, no error message and doesn't create the volume - I can't understand why
[9:33pm] realdannys1: looking at cli.log
[9:33pm] realdannys1: Im getting
[9:33pm] realdannys1: Unable to parse create volume CLI

kkeithley: firewall ports open? selinux disabled?
[9:34pm] realdannys1: kkeithley I'm running EC2 so I've just opened the ports glusterfs needed
Selinux has been disabled temporarily - still the same.
Ports open - 111, 24007, 24008, 24009, 24010

semiosis: realdannys1: can you share your volume create command here?
[9:38pm] realdannys1: sure its
[9:38pm] realdannys1: gluster volume create gv0 replica 2  23.21.65.252:/export/sdb1/brick 23.21.247.73:/export/sdb1/brick
[9:39pm] semiosis: can you paste the output of 'gluster peer status' from both servers to pastie.org & give the link here?
[9:42pm] realdannys1: Here you go - http://pastebin.com/hdi2YRmU

kkeithley_: You're using Amazon instances right? What was your answer to firewall ports open?
[1:50pm] kkeithley_: which Linux dist did you use?
[1:53pm] rastar joined the chat room.
[1:53pm] realdannys1: Yes thats right, if you look in that paste I copied everything from last night. I opened all the ports that I was told to in the docu so, let me just check that it was 111, 24007, 24008, 24009, 24010 - I don't think I needed to open that many
[1:54pm] realdannys1: and I used Amazon's 64bit Linux dist to start with
