It's nice to know someone else out there has these questions as
well.
What I'd really like confirmation on is basically this: In a JBOD oVirt
HCI configuration with multiple disk devices per host node is it possible
to have just one data volume or is it necessary to create multiple data
volumes (one or more per each physical disk you want to store vm data on)?
Meaning if I had 4 JBOD disks in each node and I wanted VM data to be
stored and accessed on all 4 would I need to create 4 different data
volumes (one per disk). And if so would they have to have unique names and
brick dirs/mount points?
The guideline is to create 1 brick per device and this is what the Cockpit
UI implements. When you group together all 4 JBOD disks to form 1 brick -
you're essentially setting up 1 large brick without any hardware RAID
protection for the disks. Any 1 of the disk failure would cause the entire
brick to be unavailable and would require healing the whole brick. So if
you had 4 1TB disks, you would end up creating a 4TB brick which needs
healing - not the best of scenarios.
Why do you need to create 1 data storage domain instead of multiple?
