Hi,
That does not provide any answers to the OP's questions. And it also
still fails to *explicitly* mention that gfapi acceleration is not
available unless you use oVirt 3.6.0 (which AFAIK is still in beta). I
raised a documentation bug about that many months ago and I still feel
it has not been adequately addressed (ie all the "Feature Complete"
entries on the page you link suggests it's ready in Stable releases).
He asked about a production scenario. For all that are interested, I've
had very poor results including VM image corruption on my home setup
using plain old KVM on top of GlusterFS. If I can't even get a home
infrastructure working to my satisfaction, what hope is there for a
corporate production environment? I appreciate that this is not really
the oVirt teams fault, but a lot of us are really frustrated in trying
to find a reliable setup for oVirt/GlusterFS and keep banging our heads
against the same wall.
For now for production loads on oVirt/RHEV, we'll be firmly sticking to
iSCSI for our VM storage - I'd rather even roll my own failover using
DRDB/corosync/pacemaker for the lowest capex. We'd love it if we could
use Ceph RBD but for some reason RedHat don't seem to want to drive
that, rather relying on OpenStack Cinder as an intermediary, which seems
silly for a pure Virtualisation setup (ie not a multi-tenanted private
cloud).
Perhaps, being from RedHat, you could suggest the closest community
versions of oVirt and Gluster to your commercial equivalents of RHEV/RHSS?
Thanks
Alex

Hi All,
What information is available regarding the compatibility of Ovirt and
Gluster? Is there a combination known to be stable and if so, what are
the relevant versions? I am asking with respect to a production system,
not an experimental lab environment.
regards,
John
