A working DNS on the master server

Installing MooseFS:

As Root on all machines:

Add the appropriate key to package manager:

curl "http://ppa.moosefs.com/RPM-GPG-KEY- MooseFS" > /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-MooseFS

Add the repository entry to yum repo:

curl "http://ppa.moosefs.com/MooseFS-3-el7.repo" > /etc/yum.repos.d/MooseFS.repo

MooseFS Master Server(s) installation:

As Root:

Install package moosefs-master by running the following command:

yum install moosefs-master  moosefs-cgi moosefs-cgiserv moosefs-cli

Sample configuration files will be created in /etc/mfs with the extension *.sample (MooseFS 3.0+). We will use these files as the target configuration files:
```
cd /etc/mfs 
cp mfsmaster.cfg.sample mfsmaster.cfg 
cp mfsexports.cfg.sample mfsexports.cfg
```
mfsexports.cfg specifies which users’ computers can mount the file system and with what privileges. We want to edit this file.
```
vi /etc/mfs/mfsexports.cfg ### if you are not in the directory
vi mfsexports.cfg ### if you are in the direcory
```

We will leave mfsmaster.cfg as is.

Start MooseFS Master Server using this command:

systemctl enable moosefs - master
systemctl start moosefs - master

Run MooseFS CGI Monitor with systemd:

systemctl enable moosefs-cgiserv
systemctl start moosefs-cgiserv

Edit firewall:

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=http --permanent
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=9425/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=9419/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=9420/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=9421/tcp --permanent

Metalogger backup server installation:

install metaloger:
```
yum install moosefs-metalogger
```

Edit MooseFS Metalogger to point to DNS name of Master Server:

cd /etc/mfs
vi mfsmetalogger.cfg ### change name of desired master to it ip address

Start MooseFS Metalogger as a service:

systemctl enable moosefs-metalogger
systemctl start moosefs-metalogger

Chunk servers installation:

install chunkserver:
```
yum install moosefs-chunkserver
```

prepare basic configuration files for the mfschunkserver:

cd /etc/mfs
cp mfschunkserver.cfg.sample mfschunkserver.cfg
cp mfshdd.cfg.sample mfshdd.cfg

edit mfschunkserver.cfg to connect with master server:

MASTER_HOST = 10.0.5.200

edit mfshdd.cfg:
```
/mnt/mfschunks1 
/mnt/mfschunks2
```

Create/Format Partition:

mkdir /mnt/mfschunks1 mdkir /mnt/mfschunks2 chown -R mfs:mfs /mnt/mfschunks1 chown -R mfs:mfs /mnt/mfschunks2
Start chunk servers:

systemctl enable moosefs-chunkserver systemctl start moosefs-chunkserver

Client installation:

Install the client:
```
yum install moosefs-client
```

Create a directory and mount it:

mkdir -p / mnt / mfs
mfsmount / mnt / mfs -H 10.0.5.200

Enable MooseFS Client automount during boot:

vi /etc/fstab
mfsmount /mnt/mfs fuse defaults, mfsmaster=mfsmaster.example.lan, mfsport=9421 0 0
