Re: [ovirt-users] hyperconverged question

yes, right. What you can do is edit the hosted-engine.conf file and there is a parameter as shown below [1] and replace h2 and h3 with your second and third storage servers. Then you will need to restart ovirt-ha-agent and ovirt-ha-broker services in all the nodes .
