At this moment on my oVirt nodes I have gluster packages as provided by
4.1.2 repos, so:
glusterfs-3.8.13-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-api-3.8.13-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-cli-3.8.13-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-client-xlators-3.8.13-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-fuse-3.8.13-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-geo-replication-3.8.13-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-libs-3.8.13-1.el7.x86_64
glusterfs-server-3.8.13-1.el7.x86_64
vdsm-gluster-4.19.15-1.el7.centos.noarch
Is 3.9 version of Gluster packages provided when updating to upcoming
4.1.3, perhaps?
No, it's not. One option is to update glusterfs packages to 3.10.

So do you think I can use any other commands with oVirt 4.1.2 and gluster
3.8?
Can I safely proceed with steps 1 and 2? When I setup a gluster network
and associated it to one host, what are exactly the implications? Will I
disrupt anything, or is it seen only an option for having gluster traffing
going on...?
Steps 1 & 2 will ensure that the IP address associated with the gluster
network is peer probed. It does not ensure that brick communication happens
using that interface. This happens only when the brick is identified using
that IP as well. (Step 3)
BTW: How would I complete the webadmin gui part of step 3? I don't see an
"edit" brick funcionality; I only see "Add" and "Replace
Brick"...
There's an RFE open to add this to GUI. For now, this has to be done from
command line of one of the gluster nodes.
Thanks,
