Thanks for the reply. Here is my glusterfs options for the volume, am I missing anything critical? [root@cluster1-vm ~]# gluster volume info storage Volume Name: storage Type: Distributed-Disperse Volume ID: 67112b70-e319-4629-b768-03df9d9a0e84 Status: Started Snapshot Count: 0 Number of Bricks: 2 x (4 + 2) = 12 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: node1-vm:/var/glusterfs/storage/1 Brick2: node2-vm:/var/glusterfs/storage/1 Brick3: node3-vm:/var/glusterfs/storage/1 Brick4: node1-vm:/var/glusterfs/storage/2 Brick5: node2-vm:/var/glusterfs/storage/2 Brick6: node3-vm:/var/glusterfs/storage/2 Brick7: node1-vm:/var/glusterfs/storage/3 Brick8: node2-vm:/var/glusterfs/storage/3 Brick9: node3-vm:/var/glusterfs/storage/3 Brick10: node1-vm:/var/glusterfs/storage/4 Brick11: node2-vm:/var/glusterfs/storage/4 Brick12: node3-vm:/var/glusterfs/storage/4 Options Reconfigured: storage.owner-gid: 36 storage.owner-uid: 36 network.ping-timeout: 5 performance.client-io-threads: on server.event-threads: 4 client.event-threads: 4 cluster.choose-local: off user.cifs: off features.shard: on cluster.shd-wait-qlength: 10000 cluster.locking-scheme: granular cluster.data-self-heal-algorithm: full cluster.server-quorum-type: server cluster.quorum-type: auto cluster.eager-lock: enable performance.strict-o-direct: on network.remote-dio: disable performance.low-prio-threads: 32 performance.io-cache: off performance.read-ahead: off performance.quick-read: off transport.address-family: inet storage.fips-mode-rchecksum: on nfs.disable: on ________________________________ From: Strahil Nikolov <hunter86_bg@yahoo.com> Sent: Monday, January 25, 2021 10:56 AM To: Robert Tongue <phunyguy@neverserio.us>; users <users@ovirt.org> Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] VM templates First of all , verify the gluster volume options (gluster volume info <VOLNAME> ; gluster volume status <VOLNAME>).When you use HCI, ovirt sets up a lot of optimized options in order to gain the maximum of the Gluster storage. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov В 15:03 +0000 на 25.01.2021 (пн), Robert Tongue написа: Hello, Another weird issue over here. I have the latest oVirt running inside VMware Vcenter, as a proof of concept/testing platform. Things are working well finally, for the most part, however I am noticing strange behavior with templates, and deployed VMs from that template. Let me explain: I created a basic Ubuntu Server VM, captured that VM as a template, then deployed 4 VMs from that template. The deployment went fine; however I can only start 3 of the 4 VMs. If I shut one down one of the 3 that I started, I can then start the other one that refused to start, then the one I JUST shut down will then refuse to start. The error is: VM test3 is down with error.

The underlying storage is GlusterFS, self-managed outside of oVirt. I can provide any logs needed, please let me know which.
