Yes, it is for a HC setup of both oVirt & Gluster.

This the correct part #
https://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/2U/216/SC216BE26-R920LPB
In all the oVirt docs/videos, no one mentioned using SSD for caching?
Therefore I was not planning on caching.
I planned to install oVirt node on the rear SSD's

Is that a hyper-converged setup of both oVirt and Gluster?
We usually do it in batches of 3 nodes.

I'd reckon that you should prefer HW RAID on software RAID, and some
RAID on no RAID at all, but it really depends on your budget,
performance, and your availability requirements.

Makes sense (I could not see the rear bays - might have missed them).
Will you be able to put some SSDs there for caching?

Same answer is above.
