<br>
I am using glusterfs as the storage backend for the VM images,
volumes for oVirt consist of three bricks, is it still necessary
to configure the arbiter to be on the safe side? or since the
number of bricks is odd it will be done out of the box?
<br>
Thanks in advance
<br>
Cheers

of replica-3 volume. Arbiter is special because the third brick
of replica set contains only directory hierarchy information and
metadata. Therefore, arbiter provides split-brain protection
with the equivalent consistency of a replica-3 volume without
incurring the additional storage space overhead.</span></p>

volume in your config with three bricks then that config should
be good. You do not need to create a arbiter.<br>
