I have never managed gluster via the UI, but theoretically it should work from there.

Maybe there is a bug.


You can prepare the new bricks (don't forget to "mkfs.xfs -i size=512 /dev/vg/lv") manually, but it's more error-prone.

Let's see if someone else can confirm that this (UI) behavior is expected or not.

Currently, in the engine UI, the Volume list is empty (maybe it is because I don't have the 3 nodes joined the cluster):

Even though the cli volume status shows me one brick:

# gluster volume status vmstore
Status of volume: vmstore
Gluster process                             TCP Port  RDMA Port  Online  Pid
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brick gluster-ov3.<snip>:/gluster_bricks
/vmstore/vmstore                            49154     0          Y       244859
 
Task Status of Volume vmstore

There are no active volume tasks

If the VMs are on the replica 1 volume (and they should),  converting to 'replica 3' will just copy the data between the nodes.

Check in the UI the volume type , brick count, etc.

I guess you will need to add the two hosts, which oVirt will automatically add them in Gluster Cluster. You can then open the UI and create the bricks and change the volume.

You can also do it from cli and once adding the hosts, then they will be automatically detected properly.

Always test properly on a non-prod environment.

So that way, the new hosts will copy the data from the already provisionned vmstore?

I think that your VMs are already using the Gluster (replica 1 , a.k.a distributed volume).

You might just add the new host via Engine UI, then through the UI you can create the bricks and modify the volume .

Of course you can go via cli.
