Install and Configure Gluster File System

[ameya agashe]

Hi Guys,

I'm not sure why the below yaml gives me an error ?

- name: Install Gluster and create file system on Cluster

  hosts: localhost

  connection: local

  tasks:

  - name: create gluster volume

    gluster_volume:

      state: present

      name: gluster_vol1

      bricks: /bricks/brick1/g1

      rebalance: yes

      cluster:

        - 192.168.1.9

        - 192.168.1.7

    run_once: true

Error message below:

TASK [create gluster volume] ****************************************************************************************

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: None

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "error running gluster (/usr/sbin/gluster --mode=script peer status) command (rc=255): ERROR: failed to create logfile \"/var/log/glusterfs/cli.log\" (Permission denied)\nERROR: failed to open logfile /var/log/glusterfs/cli.log\n"}

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

The playbook is running at the user you started ansible-playbook with.
This user have no permission in /var/log/glusterfs.

You probably need to run this as root/sudo, and that's called become in
Ansible
Good staring point is here
