We have an ovirt system with 3 clusters, all running centos7. ovirt engine is running on separate host, ovirt-engine-3.6.4.1-1.el7.centos.noarch 2 of the clusters are running newer version of ovirt, 3 nodes each, ovirt-engine-4.0.3-1.el7.centos.noarch, glusterfs-3.7.16-1.el7.x86_64, vdsm-4.18.11-1.el7.centos.x86_64. 1 cluster is still running the older version, ovirt-engine-3.6.4.1-1.el7.centos.noarch. Yes we are in the process of upgrading the whole system to ovirt4.0, but takes time.... One of the 2 clusters running ovirt4 is complaining of timeouts, vdsm talking to gluster. No warnings on the 2 other clusters.
