[ovirt-devel] Status update on "Hyperconverged Gluster oVirt support"

Hi All, Status update on "Hyperconverged Gluster oVirt support" Features Completed: ================ cockpit-ovirt ------------- 1- Asymmetric brick configuration.Brick can be configured per host basis i.e. If the user wanted to make use of sdb from host1, sdc from host2, and sdd from host3. 2- Dedupe and Compression integration via VDO support (see https://github.com/dm-vdo/kvdo). Gluster bricks are created on vdo devices 3- LVM cache configuration support (Configure cache by using fast block device such as SSD drive to imrove the performance of a larger and slower logical volumes) 4- Auto addition of 2nd and 3rd hosts in a 3 node setup during deployment 5- Auto creation of storage domains based on gluster volumes created during setup 6- Single node deployment support via Cockpit UI. For details on single node deployment - https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/gluster-hyperconverged/chap-Single_no... 7- Gluster Management Dashboard (Dashboard will show the nodes in cluster,Volumes and bricks. User can expand the cluster and also can create new volume in existing cluster nodes ) oVirt ------- 1- Reset brick support from UI to allow users to replace a faulty brick 2- Create brick from engine now supports configuring an SSD device as lvmcache device when bricks are created on spinning disks 3- VDO monitoring GlusterFS --------------- Enhancements to performance with fuse by 15x 1. Cluster after eager lock change for better detection of multiple clients 2. Changing qemu option aio to "native" instead of "threads". end-to-end deployment: -------------------------------- 1- End to end deployment of a Gluster + Ovirt hyperconverged environment using ansible roles ( https://github.com/gluster/gluster-ansible/tree/master/playbooks ). The only pre-requisite is a CentOS node/oVirt node Future Plan: ========== cockpit-ovirt: 1- ansible-roles integration for deployment 2- Support for different volume types vdsm: 1- Python3 compatibility of vdsm-gluster 2- Native 4K support -- Thanks, Gobinda
