Hi,

During Hosted Engine setup question about glusterfs volume is being asked because you have setup the volumes yourself. If cockpit+gdeploy plugin would be have been used then that would have automatically detected glusterfs replica 3 volume created during Hosted Engine deployment and this question would not have been asked.

During new storage domain creation when glusterfs is selected there is a feature called 'use managed gluster volumes' and upon checking this all glusterfs volumes managed will be listed and you could choose the volume of your choice from the dropdown list.

There is a conf file called /etc/hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf where there is a parameter called backup-volfile-servers="h1:h2" and if one of the gluster node goes down engine uses this parameter to provide ha / failover.

Hope this helps !!

Thanks

Hello -

I have successfully created a hyperconverged hosted engine setup consisting of 3 nodes - 2 for VM's and the third purely for storage. I manually configured it all, did not use ovirt node or anything. Built the gluster volumes myself

However, I noticed that when setting up the hosted engine and even when adding a new storage domain with glusterfs type, it still asks for hostname:/volumename

This leads me to believe that if that one node goes down (ex: node1:/data), then ovirt engine wont be able to communicate with that volume because its trying to reach it on node 1 and thus, go down

I know glusterfs fuse client can connect to all nodes to provide failover/ha but how does the engine handle this?
