You can setup your bricks in such way , that each host has at least 1 brick.
For example:
Server A: VOL1 - Brick 1
Server B: VOL1 - Brick 2 + VOL 3 - Brick 3
Server C: VOL1 - Brick 3 + VOL 2 - Brick 2
Server D: VOL2 - brick 1

The most optimal is to find a small system/VM for being an arbiter and having a 'replica 3 arbiter 1' volume.

It might be possible to do something similar as described in the documentation here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_gluster_storage/3.4/html/administration_guide/creating_arbitrated_replicated_volumes#sect-Create_Multiple_Arbitrated_Volumes -- but I'm not sure if oVirt HCI would support it. You might have to roll out your own GlusterFS storage solution. Someone with more Gluster/HCI knowledge might know better.
