[ovirt-users] Master Storage goes Inactive - Failed to activate Storage Domain

[Chris @ VeeroTech.net]

I have verified that the storage service (gluster) is functioning correctly by mounting it on another server and writing/reading.  The setup is basic, two identical servers set up as hosts, four drives on each server.  First drive is currently for the OS, second and third drive are set up to use Gluster distributed replicate.  Fourth is not used.  Please let me know what other information you require, and thank you for the help.

Chris

Your host cannot write to the storage.

We need more information about your setup.

Can you check that the storage service is accessible?
