[ovirt-users] Re: Replacing hosted engine on Gluster

The difference is that up to now, you have been using block storage instead of file storage. I would create a separate gluster volume only for the engine and then stop the engine on the iSCSI, Logout out of the iSCSI and restore the engine on the gluster volume. One benefit of Gluster is that you can make snapshots of the VM on gluster level (power off engine, snapshot , power on) before updates. Drawback of Engine on Gluster is that you need to know a little bit about Gluster in case something breaks.

I'm looking at oVirt on hyperconverged Gluster storage.  I see pages about how to replace a host, but how do you replace the engine when needed?  Is it possible to connect a new hosted engine to the existing Gluster storage? I'm just trying to understand all the differences of iSCSI vs. Gluster before deploying it for real; if there's info online that I missed, feel free to point me to it.
