[ovirt-users] Re: Hyperconverged Ovirt + ZFS

I did this in the past and didn’t have any trouble with gluster/ZFS, but 4.2.x probably does more validation. I recommend these settings on your zfs volumes, I set mine at the root(v0 here) and let them inherit: required: v0 xattr sa local v0 acltype posixacl local optional but I recommend them: v0 relatime on local v0 compression lz4 local For gluster, I think it checks that it’s been “optimized for virt storage”. Either apply the virt group or set the options you’ll find in /var/lib/glusterd/groups/virt. Note that I don’t recommend the default settings for cluster.shd-max-threads & cluster.shd-wait-qlength. They can swamp your machines during heals unless you have a lot of cores and ram. You get a slightly faster heal, but often have VMs pausing for storage or other odd ball storage related errors. I prefer max-threads = 1 or maybe 2, and wait-qlength=1024 or 2048. These are per volume, so they hit harder than you think they will if you have a lot of volumes running. Also make sure the gluster volumes themselves got set to 36.36 for owner.group, doesn’t matter for the bricks. Can do it with volume settings or mount the volume and set it manually. Hope it helps! -Darrell On Nov 15, 2018, at 6:28 AM, Thomas Simmons <twsnnva(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: Hello All, I recently took a new job in a RedHat shop and I'd like to move all of my homelab systems to RedHat upstream products to better align with what I manage at work. I had a "custom" (aka - hacked together) 3-node Hyperconverged XenServer cluster and would like to get this moved over to Ovirt (I'm currently testing with 4.2.7). Unfortunately, my storage is limited to software RAID with a 128GB SSD for cache. If at all possible, I would prefer to use ZFS (RAIDZ+ZIL+L2ARC) instead of MD RAID + lvmcache, however I'm not able to get this working and I'm not sure why. My ZFS and Gluster configuration is working - at least where I can manually mount all of my gluster volumes from all of my nodes, however, hosted-engine --deploy fails. I understand this isn't an out of the box configuration for Ovirt, however I see no reason why this shouldn't work. I would think this would be no different than using any other Gluster volume for the engine datastore, Am I missing something that would prevent this from working?
