Understanding a Volume Location in the Lightbits Cluster

You can use the lbcli get volume command to see which node in the cluster holds the data of a specific volume. Note that volume placement could change during the lifecycle of a volume, due to dynamic rebalancing.

You can also run the nvme list-subsys command on the application server, on a specific block-device that corresponds to a volume on the cluster.

Sample Command

Bash
Copy

Sample Output

Bash

This command’s output includes the cluster’s primary node (optimized) IP address for the volume, the secondary node (inaccessible) IP address, and the other nodes that do not hold data for that volume (block device nvme0n1).
