No oVirt doesn=27t support using the GlusterFS cluster as iSCSI target as=

it supports glusterfs native=2E So you won=27t get any GUI support from ovi=
rt=2E=2E

There has been some work done on using GlusterFS in their own community
http=3A//blog=2Egluster=2Eorg/2013/12/libgfapi-and-the-linux-target-driver/=
 =2E

But it appears to have stalled a bit

Head over to the glusterfs mailinglist for more info=2E
