If you can’t go direct, how about round about, with an iSCSI gateway.

I have for many years used gluster because..well.  3 nodes.. and so long as I can pull a drive out.. I can get my data.. and with three copies.. I have much higher chance of getting it.

 

Downsides to gluster: Slower (its my home..meh... and I have SSD to avoid MTBF issues ) and with VDO.. and thin provisioning.. not had issue.

 

BUT....  gluster seems to be falling out of favor.  Especially as I move towards OCP.

 

So..  CEPH.  I have one SSD in each of the three servers.  so I have some space to play.

 

I googled around.. and find no clean deployment notes and guides on CEPH + oVirt.

 

Comments or ideas..
