I currently have a new setup running ovirt 3.3.3. I have a Gluster storage
domain with roughly 2.5TB of usable space. Gluster is installed on the same
systems as the ovirt hosts. The host break down is as follows
Ovirt DC:
4 hosts in the cluster. Each host has 4 physical disks in a RAID 5. Each
disk is 500GB. With the OS installed and configured I end up with 1.2TB of
usable space left for my data volume
Gluster volume:
4 bricks with 1.2TB of space per brick (Distribute Replicate leaves me with
about 2.5TB in the storage domain)
Does this setup give me enough fault tolerance to survive losing a host and
have my HA vm automatically move to an available host and keep running??

There was another recent post about this but a sum up was:
You must have power fencing to support VM HA otherwise they'll be an issue
with the engine not knowing whether the VM is still running and not bring
it up on a new host to avoid data corruption. Also make sure you have your
quorum setup properly based on your replication scenario so you can
withstand 1 host being lost.
I don't believe they'll "keep running" in a sense because of the host
being
lost, but they would restart on another host. At least that's what I've
noticed in my case.

Hmm. So in that case would I be able to drop the Gluster setup and use NFS
each host and make sure power fencing is enabled? Will that still achieve
fault tolerance, or is a replicated gluster still required?

I'm not sure what you mean by NFS each host, but you'll need some way to at
least ensure the data is available. Be that be replicated gluster or a
centralized SAN etc.

OK I think I got it now. What I meant by NFS on each host was. In ovirt you
can set up an NFS storage domain on each host and have the available to all
hosts in the cluster

with gluster with replication you don't care (well less) if a host fails?

I'm not sure what you mean by NFS each host, but you'll need some way to

Hi,
I think your problem is the following:
if you put your shared storage on
the same servers where the HA-VMs run
and you lose one of those servers, you
inherently also lose the disk space on
this server.
Gluster can, in theory, circumvent this.
But afaik (read on this very ml) it is
not supported to run gluster on the same
nodes as you run the vms.
