Once a DRBD Manage storage cluster is set up, oVirt would handle the
management of DRBD volumes.
So does this mean there would be some kind of a "DRBD" cluster, like
the "Gluseter cluster" oVirt has right now?

The most recent release of DRBD contains new features that allow it to
integrate more directly with virtualization/cloud platforms. So VMs could
have DRBD-backed storage without additional overhead from NFS.
Could you elaborate a little on how this works? Would this means the
block devices would be configured on the hypervisors themselves? Is
this intended to be some kind of a hyper-converged architecture?
