hi,
i'm trying to get into this gluster thing with oVirt and added a 2 node gluster cluster to my oVirt 4.1 data center (just for testing, i know it can't have HA with 2 nodes). provisioning of the storage hosts did apparently work and my storage cluster seems to be operational.
i have very little understanding of glusterfs right know, but what i think i am missing in the interface is a way to configure volumes/bricks on my gluster cluster/hosts so i can use them for storage domains (i want to use a "managed gluster volume"), the drop down "Gluster" in "New domain" is empty. all i could find for storage specific UI was the "Services" tab for the storage cluster which is empty. once gluster hosts are added into the UI, user will be able to see volumes created on that hosts and to use them as storage domains.

i'm not using a hyperconverged/self-hosted setup, my engine is located on a dedicated server and i used iSCSI storage for data master domain. my hosts (for hypervisors and gluster storage) where installed on top of centos7, not using oVirt Node.
does my setup make sense (it's only for testing)? do i have to configure gluster hosts manually?
yes, you will have to do this manually . Installing gluster packages have to done manually. Once gluster packages are installed you can create a gluster cluster from ovirt UI , add gluster hosts and create volumes on them using the volumes tab.
i'm sorry, but i'm missing all these "Gluster Volumes" UI components that are mentioned in http://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/gluster/gluster-sup.... the tabs i see for my storage cluster are "General", "Logical Networks", "Hosts", "Services", "Permissions". as i said "Services" is empty, is that a problem? what's wrong? thx matthias
