<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">finally its there : Ovirt
VM's can use native gluster via libgfapi. I was able to start a
vm on gluster after setting "engine-config -s
LibgfApiSupported=true"</font></p>

definition as seen by "virsh -r dumxml myvm" on the host<br>

<p>Responsiveness of VM is much better (already seen when Updateng
OS Packages). <br>
</p>
<p>But I'm not able to migrate the mashine live to another host in
the cluster. Manager only states "Migration failed"<br>
</p>
<p>I did this already years ago without management interface by only
using libvirt commands on gluster. Why this is still not working ?
<br>
</p>
<p>Since gluster is a networked protocol I can't see any reason for
it.</p>
<p>I followed all the bugs like
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1022961">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1022961</a> since last
year and saw them being worked on. <br>
</p>
<p>Now I'm really disappointed. Running something like MySQL in a VM
via gluster via FUSE is crap. :-( <br>
</p>
<p>Not being able to migrate machines in an ovirt cluster is crap,
too if one wants to stay current. A few VM's on my OVirt are
running for ~200 days now while constantly upgrading to latest
Ovirt Release. That needs live migration of course.</p>
<p>Bye<br>
