Hi guys, I have 3 machines that I'd like to test oVirt/gluster on. The idea is that I want two of them to be oVirt nodes and the third to run the oVirt engine. They all have 8 hdd's, and I'd like to use these in gluster for storing the vm images. (on all 3 machines) So, machine1 is a gluster server with oVirt engine installed machine2 is a gluster server and oVirt node machine3 is a gluster server and oVirt node Is this doable?
