While pondering the question of importing an existing Gluster into Ovirt I came across http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Gluster_Import_Existing_Cluster. One rather important question not explicitly addressed in that article is - can the import be safely done while the Gluster installation is live and hosting files? That article is about Ovirt 3.2, is it safe to assume the same procedure holds true for recent versions?

There is no reboot involved if you are importing the hosts to 'gluster-only' cluster. During the host initialization process, glusterd management daemon will be restarted and ovirtmgmt network bridge will be created.
