Hi,
backup-volfile-servers is mainly used to avoid SPOF. For example
take a scenario where you have Host A and Host B and when you try to
mount a glusterfs volume using Host A with backup-volfile-servers
specified, if Host A is not accessible, mount will happen with Host B
which is specified in backup-volfile-server. backup-volfile-servers are
mainly used to fetch the volfile from gluster and has nothing to do
with data sync.
data syncing comes as part of replicate feature in glusterfs where
say for example, you have two Hosts Host A and Host B with replica
volume configured, if Host A goes down for sometime, all the writes
happens on Host B and when Host A comes up data gets synced to HostA.
Hope this helps !!!!
Thanks

Hi,
Before trying out, I want to understand how glusterfs will react for
below scenario.
Please help me.
Let consider I have two host hostA and hostB
I have setup replica volume on hostA and hostB. (consider as storage
domain for DATA in ovirt).
I have configure data domain mount command with backup server option
(backup-volfile-server) as hostB (I mean main server as hostA and
backup as hostB)
1> As I understood, VDSM execute mount command on both hostA and
hostB.(for creating data domain)
2> That mean, HostB glusterFS CLIENT will communicate with main server
(hostA).
(Please correct me if I am wrong here.)
3> Let say HostA got down (say shutdown, power off scenario)
4> Due to backup option I will have data domain available on HostB.
(Now glusterFS CLIENT on HostB will start communicating with HostB
GlusterFS SERVER).
5> Now let say HostA comes up.
6> Will it sync all data from HostB to HostA glusterFS server ?
(as per doc, yes, i not tried yet, want to confirm my understanding)
7> Will glusterFS CLIENT on HostB start communicate with main server
(HostA) ?
Please let me know, I am new to glusterFS.
Thanks,
~Rohit
