Hello Community,
Wanted to contribute with the little I know after working a few times with oVirt in an HCI
environment.
One of the questions for which I was not able to find a straight forward answer is how to
deploy an HCI oVirt environment, so after a few struggles I was able to achieve that
goal.
Below is an example of what I used to fully deploy a 3 node cluster with oVirt 4.3.7.
Please note I am no expert and just providing what I have acomplished in my lab, so use
the below at your own risk.
1.-Hardware used in my lab :
3 x Dell R610s, 48Gb Ram per server, Intel Xeon L5640 @ 2.27GHz Hex core x 2
2 x 146GB HDDs for OS
1 x 600GB HDD for Gluster Bricks
Dual 10Gb Nic.
2.-Deployed the servers using oVirt 4.3.7 image.
3.-Added ssh keys to be able to ssh from host 1 over to host 2 and host 3 without a
password
4.-Modified the following files for ansible deployment on Host 1
4.1.-Under etc/ansible/roles/gluster.ansible/playbooks/hc-ansible-deployment
-- Modify file he_gluster_vars.json with the Hosted Engine VM required
information:
--Modify file gluster_inventory.yml with hosts and gluster information
You can find the modified files that I used here

I hope this helps and if any questions feel free to reach out.
