                                  |
+----------------------+          |          +----------------------+
| [GlusterFS Server#1] |10.0.0.51 | 10.0.0.52| [GlusterFS Server#2] |
|   node01.srv.world   +----------+----------+   node02.srv.world   |
|                      |          |          |                      |

Install GlusterFS to a New Node, refer to here, and then Create a directory for GlusterFS volume on the same Path with other Nodes.

[2]Add a New Node to existing Cluster on a node. (OK on any existing node)
