Testing on another host only prove that your gluster service is accessible from the other host. Please try to access gluster from the host that vdsm is running on.

I have tested and this functions as it should.

Having only two hosts with gluster replication may be unreliable. Please consult gluster folks how to setup gluster in a reliable way.

I am only testing Ovirt with Gluster, this is not a production system.  I have other servers lined up should the testing prove successful.

Please share with us these logs, for the timeframe of this issue:

/var/log/messages
/var/log/sanlock.log
/var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log
