Hello -

I have successfully created a hyperconverged hosted engine setup consisting of 3 nodes - 2 for VM's and the third purely for storage. I manually configured it all, did not use ovirt node or anything. Built the gluster volumes myself

However, I noticed that when setting up the hosted engine and even when adding a new storage domain with glusterfs type, it still asks for hostname:/volumename

This leads me to believe that if that one node goes down (ex: node1:/data), then ovirt engine wont be able to communicate with that volume because its trying to reach it on node 1 and thus, go down

I know glusterfs fuse client can connect to all nodes to provide failover/ha but how does the engine handle this?
