I spent 2 weeks tiring to get glusterfs working with no luck. However I 
was able to get gluster nfs working.  Here are the steps I needed to do.

1) I added the following option to the volume.  Might only need the 1st 
one but I have all 3 of them set on my working system.
a) nfs.nlm off
b) nfs.register-with-portmap on
c) nfs.addr-namelookup off
2) Mount the volume outside of ovirt. mount -t nfs 
ipofonenode:/volumename /temp/share/name
3) chown -R 36.36 /temp/share/name.
4) umount /temp/share/name
5) Added a new NFS domain with the NFS Export Path: localhost:/volumename

I was then able to active the NFS based Data Center and add working VM's

Thanks
Robert
