There is no primary key present that could help us identify that a network is gluster related or not. so we cannot actually get the details, because we won't know if a network is gluster network or something else. > > I just wanted to see, if there is any other way to get the details of the backend hostname? In "backend hostname", do you refer to the storage server? Please note that there is not a "the" storage server. You can have more than one. Nothing, AFAIU, in oVirt, forces storage traffic to go through a specific network.

IIUC, once a user supplies some name for the storage server, the hosts simply lookup that name and connect to the resolved address. So users that want to use a specific network, should make sure the resolution points at an IP address on that network. Please explain exactly what you want to do. Adding Nir and Eyal from storage.
