I should have say replica 3+arbiter when adding the 3rd host.

Yes i know that the documentation specified 3 hosts. But if i understand this is to make sure the system is always reliable and that make sense. But my questions is mainly is it possible to start with 2 nodes and had a 3rd one later..when i had the budget. If i am not mistaking Gluster can work with 2 nodes.

If I’m not wrong GlusterFS in oVirt requires 3 hosts.

Here’s the RHHI guide, it’s pretty much the same for oVirt: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_hyperconverged_infrastructure/1.1/html/deploying_red_hat_hyperconverged_infrastructure/

All documentation tell me that i need 3 hosts.. but for the moment i only have 2 but planning to had more later.
