5.2 Securing Node Communication in the
Storage Cluster
A storage cluster can contain three types of servers:
• MDS servers
• chunk servers
• clients
During cluster operation, the servers communicate with each other. To secure their communication, you

The process of deploying such a setup is as follows:
1. Create the storage cluster by making the MDS server and specifying one of its IP addresses:
# vstorage -c Cluster-Name make-mds -I -a MDS-IP-Address -r Journal-Directory -p
