Hi,

Every piece of documentation I read regarding the setup of Gluster seems to suggest using at least one of the the nodes to host the engine. Is this a requirement of can I use an engine that is deployed on a VM on another server in the same network?

yes, this is definitely possible, you can create Gluster storage domain and use it no matter there your engine runs

Any info would be much appreciated. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/site/privacy-policy/ oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/LN4CTUMQSTJX4 EO7ZHHO3QAM2NR6USGS/

Hi Vojtech

Thanks for the info, I have been looking for a method of creating the gluster cluster via cockpit on one of my three hosts but the only way I can see is via the hosted engine setup. Is it a case that we need to configure the hosts to use gluster storage with the cli commands prior to adding it to a pre-existing non hosted engine?

you have to setup Gluster cluster first and then you can connect it as a storage domain via engine UI (select Gluster in drop down menu when creating new storage). Some documentation (with little bit outdated UI) can be found on [1], section "Attaching a Gluster Storage Volume as a Storage Domain". Check Gluster documentation how to setup Gluster cluster. For quick test you can use scripts [2, 3, 4] - but please note these are not intended for production use (e.g. turned off firewall etc, also use VDO which you may not want to use).
