# gluster-BulkVolumeCreate
A tool to generate a large number of glusterfs volumes.
## Prerequisites
1. Python 3.x
2. Running gluster cluster
## Installation
1. Download the project files from github.
```
git clone https://github.com/kshithijiyer/gluster-BulkVolumeCreate.git
```
2. Change directory to the project directory.
```
cd gluster-BulkVolumeCreate
```
3. Now run the installation script.
```
python3 setup.py install
```
4. To check run ``` BulkVolumeCreate --help ```
## Usage
### Setting Up config file
Create a .conf file with the following structure:
```
hosts=host1,host2,host3,host4,host5
bricks=/bricks/brick1/,/bricks/brick2/,/bricks/brick3/,/bricks/brick4/,/bricks/brick5/,/bricks/brick6/,/bricks/brick7/
vol_name=test
```
Where ``` hosts ``` is the IP or hostnames of the peers in the gluster cluster, ``` bricks ``` are the paths to mount points where the bricks are mounted and ``` vol_name ``` is the base name of all the volumes. Edit the ``` example.conf ``` file available in the project folder.
### Example commands
1. Creating 10 EC volumes.
```
BulkVolumeCreate -f example.conf -t ec -e 2x4+2 -n 10
```
2. Creating 100 arb volumes.
```
BulkVolumeCreate -f example.conf -t arb -e 1x2+1 -n 100
```
3. Creating 20 replica 3x3 volumes with prefix ``` hi_ ```.
```
BulkVolumeCreate -f example.conf -t rep -e 3x3 -n 20 -p hi
```
Another way of writing the same commands:
```
BulkVolumeCreate --config_file example.conf --type ec --expression 2x4+2 --number 10
BulkVolumeCreate --config_file example.conf --type arb --expression 1x2+1 --number 100
BulkVolumeCreate --config_file example.conf --type rep --expression 3x3 --number 20 --pefix hi
```
### Expression definition
This is how you write expressions for BulkVolumeCreate which defines what will be the configuration for the volumes.
No. | Type | Expression
--- | --- | ---
1 | dist | N
2 | rep | AxB
3 | arb | AxB+C
4 | ec | AxD+R
For more info do a ``` BulkVolumeCreate --help ``` or ``` BulkVolumeCreate -h ```.
