Hi Willard, It shouldn't be a problem if you have the Gluster volume mounted on your hosts. Hosted-engine deployment should not be affected. Thanks, Elad On Thu, Oct 22, 2015 at 9:51 PM, Willard Dennis <wdennis@nec-labs.com> wrote:
Hi all,
Back to trying out the latest oVirt with latest Gluster, and wanting to do a self-hosted Engine setup. I am reading the instructions I found on the following pages:
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Self_Hosted_Engine_Gluster_Support
http://www.ovirt.org/QA:TestCase_Hosted_Engine_External_Gluster_Support
I have the requisite Gluster volume all ready to go:
[root@ovirt-node-01 ~]# gluster volume info engine
Volume Name: engine Type: Distributed-Replicate Volume ID: 974c9da4-b236-4fc1-b26a-645f14601db8 Status: Started Number of Bricks: 2 x 3 = 6 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: ovirt-node-01:/gluster_brick1/engine_brick Brick2: ovirt-node-02:/gluster_brick2/engine_brick Brick3: ovirt-node-03:/gluster_brick3/engine_brick Brick4: ovirt-node-01:/gluster_brick3/engine_brick Brick5: ovirt-node-02:/gluster_brick4/engine_brick Brick6: ovirt-node-03:/gluster_brick5/engine_brick Options Reconfigured: server.allow-insecure: on storage.owner-gid: 36 storage.owner-uid: 36 auth.allow: * network.ping-timeout: 10 cluster.server-quorum-type: server cluster.quorum-type: auto network.remote-dio: enable cluster.eager-lock: enable performance.stat-prefetch: off performance.io-cache: off performance.read-ahead: off performance.quick-read: off
The one question I have is, should it be mounted or not? I currently do have it mounted on each host (example off one of my oVirt hosts):
localhost:/engine 1.9T 65M 1.9T 1% /data/ovirt/engine
Will this interfere with the running of "hosted-engine —deploy”? Kindly advise.
Thanks, Will
