Re: [ovirt-users] Storage network clarification
Thanks I will add those steps to my notes and try again some time in
the future. Trying to move storage network functions from ovirtmgmt to
a dedicated logical network for an existing gluster volume did not go
well for me. I did not put much effort into recovering, but I lost the
storage domain completely. I did not collect any logs because I was
pressed for time.
I am finding it easier to manage gluster outside of ovirt for now.
Without knowing how VDSM is going to try to approach a task it becomes
more time consuming (and sometimes destructive) to work with VDSM than
to just do things manually.

There's some ongoing work to replace network used by brick -
