DESCRIPTION
       The  Gluster Console Manager is a command line utility for elastic vol‐
       ume management. You can run the gluster command on any  export  server.
       The command enables administrators to perform cloud operations, such as
       creating, expanding,  shrinking,	 rebalancing,  and  migrating  volumes
       without needing to schedule server downtime.

COMMANDS
   Volume Commands
	volume info [all|<VOLNAME>]
	      Display information about all volumes, or the specified volume.

	volume	create	<NEW-VOLNAME>  [device	vg]  [stripe <COUNT>] [replica
       <COUNT>] [transport <tcp|rdma|tcp,rdma>] <NEW-BRICK> ...
	      Create a new volume of the specified type	 using	the  specified
	      bricks  and  transport type (the default transport type is tcp).
	      To create a volume with both transports  (tcp  and  rdma),  give
	      'transport  tcp,rdma'  as an option.  device vg parameter speci‐
	      fies volume should use block backend instead  of	regular	 posix
	      backend.	In this case NEW-BRICK should specify an existing Vol‐
	      ume Group and there can be only one brick for Block backend vol‐
	      umes.  Refer Block backend section for more details

	volume delete <VOLNAME>
	      Delete the specified volume.

	volume start <VOLNAME>
	      Start the specified volume.

	volume stop <VOLNAME> [force]
	      Stop the specified volume.

	volume rename <VOLNAME> <NEW-VOLNAME>

	volume set <VOLNAME> <OPTION> <PARAMETER> [<OPTION> <PARAMETER>] ...
	      Set the volume options.

	      Display help for the volume command.

   Block backend
       By specifying "device vg" in volume create, a volume capable of export‐
       ing block devices(ie Volume Groups (VG)) is created. As of now  export‐
       ing  only VG is supported. While creating block backend volume the "VG"
       (mentioned in NEW-BRICK) must exist (ie created with vgcreate).	VG  is
       exported	 as  a directory and all LVs under that VG will be exported as
       files. Please refer BD commands section for Block backend related  com‐
       mands

   Brick Commands
	volume add-brick <VOLNAME> <NEW-BRICK> ...
	      Add the specified brick to the specified volume.

	      Note:  If	 you  remove  the brick, the data stored in that brick
	      will not be available. You can migrate data from	one  brick  to
	      another using replace-brick option.

	volume rebalance-brick <VOLNAME>(<BRICK> <NEW-BRICK>) start
