Re: [ovirt-users] Q: Partitioning - oVirt 4.1 & GlusterFS 2-node System

Hi, Donny, Thanks for the link. Am I understood correctly that I'm need at least 3-node system to run in failover mode? So far I'm plan to deploy only 2 nodes, either with hosted either with bare metal engine. *The key thing to keep in mind regarding host maintenance and downtime is that this converged three node system relies on having at least two of the nodes up at all times. If you bring down two machines at once, you'll run afoul of the Gluster quorum rules that guard us from split-brain states in our storage, the volumes served by your remaining host will go read-only, and the VMs stored on those volumes will pause and require a shutdown and restart in order to run again.* What happens if in 2-node glusterfs system (with hosted engine) one node goes down? Bare metal engine can manage this situation, but I'm not sure about hosted engine.

Also with software defined storage its recommended their are at least two "storage" nodes and one arbiter node to maintain quorum.
