Re: [ovirt-users] VMWare VSAN like setup with oVirt
Hello
Note that Gluster hasn't all the VSAN features yet so you will be able
to replicate data.
Also I personally think replica=3 is overkill and waste of space for mos
scenarios. 2 should be enough and give a raid 1 like.

Absolutely. One of our oVirt setup is done this way.
Three hosts are set up as glusterFS servers (replica-3), as well as
oVirt nodes.
We choose to add a fourth host as an standalone engine, but you can
choose to use a VM for that (hyperconverge setup).
I have no experience on similar setup with a random number of nodes,
neither if this can be achievable (some kind of network RAID-10)... (?)
