If you system will have only Gluster -> you can blacklist everything in multipath.
But imagine you have gluster and also SAN or iSCSI -> then you need to blacklist only local disks that Gluster uses, but not the SAN.

Ahh, OK, I didn't realize that.  I appreciate it, and was hoping to get good feedback like this when I posted what I did.  Will make the changes.

What is meant by "gluster only machine" here?

You should create a file like mine, cause vdsm manages /etc/multipathd.conf

# cat /etc/multipath/conf.d/blacklist.conf
blacklist {
        devnode "*"
        wwid nvme.1cc1-324a31313230303131343036-414441544120
535838323030504e50-00000001
        wwid TOSHIBA-TR200_Z7KB600SK46S
        wwid ST500NM0011_Z1M00LM7
        wwid WDC_WD5003ABYX-01WERA0_WD-WMAYP2303189
        wwid WDC_WD15EADS-00P8B0_WD-WMAVU0885453
        wwid WDC_WD5003ABYZ-011FA0_WD-WMAYP0F35PJ4
}

Keep in mind 'devnode *' is OK only for gluster-only machine.
