<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div> During Hosted Engine setup question about glusterfs volume is being asked because you have setup the volumes yourself. If cockpit+gdeploy plugin would be have been used then that would have automatically detected glusterfs replica 3 volume created during Hosted Engine deployment and this question would not have been asked.</div><div><br></div><div> During new storage domain creation when glusterfs is selected there is a feature called 'use managed gluster volumes' and upon checking this all glusterfs volumes managed will be listed and you could choose the volume of your choice from the dropdown list.</div><div><br></div><div> There is a conf file called /etc/hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf where there is a parameter called backup-volfile-servers="h1:h2" and if one of the gluster node goes down engine uses this parameter to provide ha / failover. </div><div><br></div><div> Hope this helps !!</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>kasturi</div><div><br><div><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Aug 30, 2017 at 8:09 PM, Charles Kozler <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ckozleriii@gmail.com" target="_blank">ckozleriii@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hello -<div><br></div><div>I have successfully created a hyperconverged hosted engine setup consisting of 3 nodes - 2 for VM's and the third purely for storage.
