ec2 instance cant mount glusterfs server

Question

My EC2 instance tries to mount glusterfs volume whic located on another EC2 instance .

client instance's /etc/fstab file contains:

glusterserver1:/export/brick1 /mnt/glusterfs glusterfs defaults 0 0

when I try to mount it

mnt -a

But it gives error. The glusterfs log for my client like below:

Could you help me please?

Does `glusterserver1` resolve? Is the Gluster server running? Can you mount the brick from the server itself? — mgorven, Feb 19 '13 at 21:47
glusterserver is running. ping glusterserver is not responding — zontragon, Feb 19 '13 at 21:50
This command "sudo gluster volume info" results => Volume Name: vdgluster_vol_0 Type: Replicate Status: Started Number of Bricks: 2 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: glusterserver1:/export/brick1 Brick2: glusterserver2:/export/brick1 — zontragon, Feb 19 '13 at 21:52
Did you find a solution to this? I have the exact same problem. — Danny Shepherd, Jun 13 '13 at 14:57
Hi @Danny Shepherd. The version of server and clients were different. I insalled same version, then it worked — zontragon, Jun 13 '13 at 18:59

check the security group of server instances. Just to make sure it is not because of security group enable ALL Traffic for all the server instances.
instead of fstab try to mount using mount.glusterfs server:vol mountpoint
check if the volume is started ? gluster volume vol-name status | start

ec2 instance cant mount glusterfs server
