WebGlusterFS2.0: A Web-based Administration Tool for GlusterFS with Unattended Deployment and Automatic Configuration of Xlator

Facing the complex tasks of dynamic and timely adjustment according to the storage demands in Cloud environments and Big-data environments, we have already developed a web-based system for GlusterFS named WebGlusterFS. WebGlusterFS2.0 is based on WebGlusterFS and have been reengineered and upgraded while maintaining the ability to address the challenges of heterogeneous complex Cloud environments and Big-data environments. WebGlusterFS2.0 has two new features: unattended deployment function and automatic configuration of Xlator. WebGlusterFS2.0 enables us to conduct unattended deployment for multiple server nodes and allows us to add translator (Xlator) for GlusterFS without having to manually modify the GlusterFS volume configuration file each time.
