Does this mean that from Gluster CLI you will not try and invoke the rebalance command ?
(I mean, I should either use Gluster CLI or Engine's REST API?)
Rebalance
volume command could be invoked in any of the following ways:
1. From the console UI (clicking on Rebalance as shown in
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Gluster_Volume_Asynchronous_Tasks_Managemen...)
2. Using REST API
3. Outside of engine, from Gluster CLI - In such cases, the engine
should detect that a user has triggered rebalance operation outside the
engine, and allow the user to monitor progress of this from the engine.
This is where, we need support to add a Job for an operation that was
started externally, so that it can be seen in the Tasks tab.
