Also is it best to run the hosted engine on a dedicated server or as a self
hosted VM?
Thanks

I have a small oVirt cluster running but I have been having problems

the storage and would like to completely start again with the storage

windows storage server serving oVirt via iSCSI. I also have a smaller
storage server which is currently not used. The oVirt cluster is not
running a production environment but ideally I do not want to have to power
it all off to patch the storage servers and oVirt cluster.
1x storage server, raid 10 24TB usable, 2x 10Gb ethernet
1x storage server, raid 10 4TB usable, 4x 1Gb ethernet
8x oVirt hosts, 1x10Gb ethernet on each
1x 24port 10Gb switch
What would be the best way to utilise the storage servers?
I was thinking about sticking CentOS on both servers and running Gluster
with a 4TB replicated volume across both servers for the hosted engine and
other critical VMs and then a 20TB non-replicated Gluster volume running on
just the larger storage server for non critical VMs. I have another spare
server which i could potentially use as a arbiter node. Would this work or
would I have huge problems as the hardware performance of each storage
server is so different?
Any advice appreciated.
