So in that case would I be able to drop the Gluster setup and use NFS each host and make sure power fencing is enabled? Will that still achieve fault tolerance, or is a replicated gluster still required?

Also make sure you have your quorum setup properly based on your replication scenario so you can withstand 1 host being lost. I don't believe they'll "keep running" in a sense because of the host being lost, but they would restart on another host. At least that's what I've noticed in my case.

I have a Gluster storage domain with roughly 2.5TB of usable space. Gluster is installed on the same systems as the ovirt hosts. The host break down is as follows Ovirt DC: 4 hosts in the cluster.
