    You can provide the mount options from the ovirt front end, while
    creating the storage domain. <br>
    I'm assuming you selected Storage type as "Data/Posix compliant FS"
    or "Data/GlusterFS". There is a "Mount Options" field where you can
    specify "backupvolfile-server=&lt;list of comma separated host
    names&gt;". These are the other nodes on which the volume is
    replicated. So if the primary server is down, it will try to use the
    other servers to get the volume file. This is useful only when the
    virt server is first trying to mount the gluster volume.<br>
    <br>
    Ideally, if your virt hosts are UP,  when one of the gluster servers
    goes down, your storage domain should be UP. (even without the
    backupvolfile-server option)<br>
    <br>
    I'm not very familiar with oVirt Storage Domain ,so someone from the
    oVirt storage team should be able to guide you further.<br>

                                              <div>Hi I am trying to
                                                setup an Ovirt,
                                                Glusterfs, VM servers. I
                                                have followed examples
                                                on setting up Ovirt and
                                                they have helped me so
                                                far, but not the end
                                                point that I am looking
                                                for.<br>

                                              <br>
                                            </div>
                                            I am running 3 HP micro
                                            servers and 2 HP DL360 G5<br>
                                          </div>
                                          The 3 micro servers are my
                                          glusterfs storage and have
                                          been provisioned for virt
                                          storage.<br>
                                        </div>
                                        The 2 DL360 are my processing
                                        machines.<br>
                                        <br>
                                      </div>
                                      Now my 3 gluster hosts are in one
                                      cluster, the volume is in up
                                      status and has been provisioned
                                      for Virt Storage. But the problem
                                      is that my mount point is directed
                                      to one server, so when that server
                                      goes down, the volume storage
                                      domain goes down. I am not sure
                                      whether there is a way of mounting
                                      it by a "volume identity", so when
                                      a server goes down the storage
                                      domain stays up.<br>
                                      <br>
                                    </div>
                                    With my 2 processing hosts, I have
                                    them in one cluster, but I have not
                                    gotten any where with this, as I
                                    want the Virtual machines to use the
                                    gluster volume as storage but use
                                    the processing hosts hardware for
                                    processing power.  <br>
                                    <br>
                                  </div>
                                  I would appreciate any assistance.<br>
