Hi Alex,
I have evaluated this approach using the latest version of oVirt Node.
In principle I would like to follow the guidelines of oVirt development
team, and adopt its best practices, trying to limit excessive
customizations.
So I installed oVirt Node on 3 hosts and I manually configured the two
additional interfaces for the point-to-point interconnections on which then
I configured Gluster.
This was done very easily, and it works!
I know that SDN is supported by oVirt, even if by default it is bridging
to the outside.
I have no experience with the SDN, but I realized that the VxLAN or maybe
Geneve was the way to go, and now I also have your confirmation.
Creating Geneve L3 point-to-point tunnels between the nodes, on which then
configure an L2 overlay network shared by oVirt pool hosts and on which
then move all internal oVirt communications.
In first analysis this intervention seems structural, not trivial, I think
it would be better to evaluate it carefully, and if interesting, write a
best practice or better integrate the functionality in the solution.
At the end the system must be stable and above all upgradable with
traditional procedures.
Stefano.

Hi,
Network virtualization is already here and widely used. I am still not
sure what is the gain of this approach. You can do the same with VxLANs or
Geneve. And how do you scale this? Is it only for 3 node clusters?

Hi Yaniv,
no, the final purpose is not to save a couple of ports.
The benefit is the trend to convergence and consolidation of the
networking, as already done for the storage.
The external interconnection is a critical element of the HCI solution, a
configuration without switches would give more soundness and more
independence.
If we think about HCI as the transition of IT infrastructure from
hardware-defined to software-defined, the first step was virtualization of
the servers, the second step was storage virtualization, the third step
will be virtualization of networking.
Of course this also has an economic benefit, reduce the total cost of
ownership and traditional data-center inefficiencies.
We suppose a very traditional and simple external uplink, we can use the
interfaces integrated into the motherboard.
This will not be critical for the integrity of the our HCI solution, this
will not require broad bandwidth and low latency, this will be used
exclusively to interconnect the solution with the outside world, then with
a traditional ethernet switch.
We suppose to give more attention to the point-to-point interconnection of
the three nodes, using 100 or 200 GbE cards for direct interconnection
without switches.
The hypothetical purchase of these 3 cards will not be cheaper, sure, but
it will be twenty times less than introducing expensive switches that will
certainly have more ports than necessary.
Thanks for your attention,
Stefano.

Can you explain to me what the benefit is? You need a switch anyway (for

do not need 6 ports?
Y.

The point to point interconnect is something we have not explored - I
think this limits the solution from scaling out to more nodes.

Good morning,
I would like to kindly ask you a question about the feasibility of
defining a point-to-point interconnection between three ovirt nodes.
Initially with the idea of optimizing the direct communications between
the nodes and especially the gluster communications, and so it would seem
quite easy, then evaluating a more complex configuration, assuming to
create an overlay L2 network on the three L3 point-to-point, using
techniques like geneve, of which at the moment I have no mastery.
If the direct routing of three nodes to interconnect the public network
with the private overlay network was not easily doable, we could leave the
private overlay network isolated from the outside world and connect the VM
hosted engine directly to the two networks with two adapters.
This layout with direct interconnection of the nodes without switches and
a shared L2 overlay network between the nodes may in future be contemplated
in future releases of your HCI solution?
Thank you for your attention, have a nice day!
Stefano Zappa.
