Is oVirt 3.6 with GlusterFS 3.7 recommended for production usage?

I want to deploy oVirt 3.6 with GlusterFS 3.7 to my online servers. Is it recommended for production usage? Thx.

I prefer deploying as a hyperconverged setup, but it is still under experiment, right? So I try to separate vm service and storage. I added new storage domain( Domain Type "Data", Storage Type "GlusterFS", Use Host "host-01". But then I can't add another new storage domain( Domain Type "Data", Storage Type "GlusterFS", Use Host "host-02"). The input field "path" is unwritable (gray) on the Popup New Domain Window. My question is, should we add a new storage domain for each ovirt-node? On Tue, Jun 21, 2016 at 7:15 PM, Sahina Bose <sabose@redhat.com> wrote:

Hyperconverged deployment with oVirt and Gluster has been tested and is currently offered as a preview feature with guidance on do's/don'ts & recommended gluster volume settings. We're working on enhancing this further to make it easier to setup, integrate better in the oVirt UI in 4.1

No, you dont need to. This seems like a bug in the Create storage domain UI. Does refreshing your browser fix the greyed-out input field? Any errors seen in engine logs?

You mean we dont need to add new storage domain for each ovirt-node? Maybe I choose the "Use Host" option wrongly? I thought this is the way to tie the storage of "Host-01" to GlusterFS by selecting "Host-01" on the "Use Host" option. And I should do the same thing for "Host-02", which adding new storage domain with choosing "Host-02" on the "Use Host" option. So do others. Host-03, Host-04 ...

While creating storage domain, the host provided in "Use host" is the one used to initially setup the connection to the storage. In case of gluster storage domain, if like you said, you want to separate storage servers from hypervisor hosts - you would set up the gluster volume using bricks on Host-04, Host-05, Host-06. And in oVirt create a cluster with your hypervisor hosts - Host-01, Host-02 and Host-03. To create a data storage domain - use any of the hosts (01-03) and provide path to gluster volume as host-04:/<volname> In case of hyperconverged setup, the gluster volume can be setup on Host-01, Host-02, Host-03 itself.
