[ovirt-users] why replica 3

This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 4880 and 3156) --DtNOHPq0pvAdvxKNIida56NVOQMQS9co0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi oVirt group, I'm currently trying to set up an oVirt 3.6 self hosed engine on a replica 2 gluster volume. As you can imagine it fails since it expects a replica 3 volume. Since this part is hard coded during the installation this could be easily remedied but on the other hand I'm not familiar with the oVirt setup so I'm not sure if I would be disturbing something far a head that again is puzzled by the lack of a replica 3 volume. Is there a reason why it has to be exactly replica 3? Shouldn't the redundancy of the storage back end be the responsibility of the admin and therefore the option to choose (at least replicated and distributed replicated) open? I'm asking because the storage back and I'm using is kind of a 'big' thing and it's hardware is put together to facilitate the use of replica 2. Sure I could create multiple bricks on those two machines but other than a negative performance impact I would gain nothing. Since the price tag of one of those servers is quite high the likelihood of getting another one is exactly 0. So I'm sure it makes sens to you that I would rather choose my own replication level than having one predetermined. All the best Richard --DtNOHPq0pvAdvxKNIida56NVOQMQS9co0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" --DtNOHPq0pvAdvxKNIida56NVOQMQS9co0--
