[Gluster-users] Gluster client version vs gluster server
Hi all I have a RHEL machine with gluster 7.9 installed, which is the one from EPEL. Also, I have a set of debian machines running glusterfs server/cluster with version 9.3. Is it likely to work well with this combination or should everything be the same version? That might be a bit hard across distros. Also, RHEL just sells gluster, since it's such a nice feature so they find it hard to not charge us USD 4500 per year per node for it, plus the price difference between an edu license and a full license, per node. Well, we can probably use that money for something else, but we're not quite ready to leave rhel yet (not my fault). So - would these different versions be compatible or what would the potential problems be to mix them like described? roy

[Gluster-users] Gluster client version vs gluster server
Hi, In gluster the servers can run with newer version in a backward compatibility mode - a.k.a?op-version.Check this article and ensure that client op version is not smaller than the cluster one.https://docs.gluster.org/en/v3/Upgrade-Guide/op_version/?.In best scenario, just download the packages from gluster?s repo and ensure all clients and servers have the same version. Also, you can build your own rpms by following?https://docs.gluster.org/en/main/Developer-guide/Building-GlusterFS/? if you don?t want the precompiled binaries: https://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/LATEST/?
