Gateway generates SSH keys during installation. These keys are stored in the following location /opt/glustermg/keys. These keys are used for communication with the storage servers. However, in Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment, SSH communication is done using the private key provided by Amazon. Hence, the AWS genegrated private key (.pem file) must be stored in /opt/glustermg/keys and the file must be named as gluster.pem

Note: -

You can install the Gluster Management Gateway packages on a Gluster Storage Server. However, this can impact performance of the GlusterFS processes on this machine hence this is not recommended.
The Gluster Management Gateway is shipped with a self-signed SSL certificate, by default. While this ensures that the communication between the console and gateway is encrypted and safe, some browsers may throw security warnings mentioning that the site is not secure. It is highly recommended that you install your own SSL certificate issued by a valid certifying authority in the tomcat5 configuration for the 8443 port. -
Enable port 8443 on the Gateway as the Management Console connects to it over SSL on this port -

Gluster Management Gateway communicates with all storage servers through SSH, using their host names. Make sure all of your storage server’s host names are resolvable by the Gateway. + \ No newline at end of file -- cgit
