Create a second cluster named 'Storage' :-) and make sure the virt 
checkbox is unchecked and the gluster checkbox is checked and add both 
storage hosts to this cluster. Hopefully during the install it won't 
complain about the virt bits. I run such a setup but my storage hosts 
are virt capable so I don't know if this will work for you.
