I'm sure you are completely correct. I do not want to run oVirt this
way. I would very much prefer a dedicated machine for the engine,
dedicated KVM nodes and dedicated storage/gluster nodes, or a real
SAN. But this is the "you get this" and "make it work" that I get
from upper management. So I'm going to continue testing 3.5.1 this
way, and when it's too much load / performance sucks, then I can
say, "I told you so".<br>
<br>
I was reading through the planned features for 3.6 which says
storage on the virt nodes will be supported. Again, I understand
this is not optimal, but if I have to tell them this needs to wait
for 3.6 to be released for this configuration to be supported, then
so be it. And if performance still sucks, which I don't doubt,
then... I told them so.<br>
<br>
Anyway.. I was playing around today, and I'm not sure how or why,
but the engine UI now shows the gluster volume stuff.. on the
combined virt + gluster nodes.<br>

However, the gluster volumes cannot be on your oVirt hosts. An oVirt Host
cannot be an oVirt-managed gluster volume provider as well. These are
separate, physical hosts in oVirt <= 3.5.1.

<pre wrap="">
The "Both" in the --== OVIRT ENGINE CONFIGURATION ==-- section of the
engine-setup refers to if you will have "both" oVirt KVM Host clusters as well
as Gluster Volume clusters. "Both" does not mean that you will have the
Gluster storage daemon and KVM on the same host, as that configuration is not
supported nor recommended.
Hope that helps.
