I installed ovirt 3.1 using the assume repo provided by
http://www.dreyou.org/ovirt/ and it works really well. Been a few
glitches but overall it works well. I see an interface for GlusterFS is
in there but no clue how to use it any hints or info been created yet?
Thanks

Hi Robert,
afaik, there is no official documentation that show's how to work
with glusterFS using oVirt since its too new and we are in early integration phases
(shireesh, correct me if i'm wrong).
I would start by browsing to http://www.gluster.org/ and read about the underlying
technology (glusterFS, admin guide is good place to start).
as for tips and hints, I will describe what you need in general (very high-level):
- cluster and data-center - edit cluster and set the gluster check box
- host side (vds):
* install vdsm-gluster package
* install all gluster-related packages
* make sure all gluster related services are fully operational
- create new volume (volume is a collection of bricks which represent a collection of
export domains):
* allocate storage space on your host
* make sure this space is exposed via export (NFS) directory
* create new volume\bricks
Thanks,
Haim

Read
though there doc's but wasn't sure how much needed to be done using
native glusterfs tools and how much is done using ovirt engine because
of the fact it was recently integrated means there are still likely
holes in the process.
Didn't see
vdsm-gluster when I built the nodes but when I looked for the
package it was there. Already had all the glusterfs services running.
This is where I am confused. glusterfs supports 3
methods of exposing
the cluster. Is ovirt using the NFS or the native(fs) method? If it is
NFS why the interface for bricks? Wouldn't you just create a giant nfs
share? This is the area I am most confused with and looking for hints on.
Thanks

We intend to add more documentation soon, though nothing else is
available right now.
Most of the features mentioned in the feature page, except async tasks
(rebalance volume, migrate brick) and bootstrapping changes are
currently available from UI and REST api. You should run engine with the
option "InstallVds" set to false and SSL disabled (on both engine and
vdsm). When creating clusters, make sure you select the checkbox to
enable gluster services, and always add hosts to such clusters from UI only.
To be more precise, glusterfs supports 3 methods of exposing a *volume*,
and not cluster. A cluster can contain a number of volumes. In Gluster
terminology, Bricks (server:directory) are building blocks of a
"volume". Volumes can be exported using native (GLUSTER), NFS or CIFS
protocols, though only GLUSTER and NFS are available from the UI for
now. A volume need not necessarily have bricks on all servers of the
cluster. If you want one giant NFS share spread over all servers of the
cluster, you'll have to use one brick from each of the servers when
creating the volume, and then export the Volume via NFS.
Feel free to ask glusterfs specific questions on the #gluster IRC
channel on FreeNode.
