Hello,
we are designing a new production cluster, and I have to questsions about GlusterFS
please:
1- this quote from the documentation os not clear to me "
Creating additional data domains in the same data center as the self-hosted engine storage
domain is highly recommended. If you deploy the self-hosted engine in a data center with
only one active data storage domain, and that storage domain is corrupted, you will not be
able to add new storage domains or remove the corrupted storage domain; you will have to
redeploy the self-hosted engine." Does this mean that we should have more than one
"Data" domain? or here this paragraph is talking about sharing a single domain
for both the hosted-engine and VMs?
2- the documentation mentioned that Replica 1 or Replica 3 are only supported, but is this
only for the hosted-engine volume? or also for Data volumes? so the max is only 3? and
waht if I wanted to expand capacity later?
Thank you,
11:03 p.m.
1 - use 100 GB for the HostedEngine VM, separate storage domain for the other VMs
2 - Replica 3 means that each VM disk will have 3 identical copies ( split into tiny
pieces) and usually you don't need more copies.When you decide to add more storage
-> you can add 3 more bricks (term for server+mountpoint) , expand the volume and then
rebalance (necessary in order to twll gluster about the new storage location and to
balance the usage among subvolumes)

Thanks a lot for your answer. The thing is, we had data lose disaster last month, and
that's why we've decided to deploy a cmmpletely new environment for taht pirpose,
and let me tell you what happened. We are using Ovirt 4.1 with Gluster 3.8 for our
production, and the cluster contains five hosts, three of them are storage servers.
I've added two more hosts, and manually via CLI (as I couldn't do this via GUI)
created a new brick on one of the newely added nodes,and expanded the volume with the
parameter "replica = 4 as it was refused to expand without setting the replica
count. The action was successful for both the engine vol, and the data vol, however, few
minutes later we've found that the disk sizes (images) of the existing VMs got shrunk
and lost all of the data, and we had to recover from backup.. We can't afford another
downtime (another disaster I mean), that's why I'm so maticulous about what to do
next, so, is there a good guide around for the architecure and sizing?
Thank you,
2:41 p.m.
Can you check of the volume had 'cluster.lookup-optimize' enabled (on)?Most
probably it caused your problems .
