[ovirt-users] Hosted engine setup using Gluster - what is proper param's for the storage domain names?

[Willard Dennis]

Hi all,

Doing the hosted engine setup on Gluster; am at the point of configuring the storage domain / datacenter names, and not sure of what my best move is here… Here’s what I’m seeing:

——
          --== STORAGE CONFIGURATION ==--

          During customization use CTRL-D to abort.
          Please specify the storage you would like to use (glusterfs, iscsi, fc, nfs3, nfs4)[nfs3]: glusterfs
[ INFO  ] Please note that Replica 3 support is required for the shared storage.
          Please specify the full shared storage connection path to use (example: host:/path): localhost:/engine
[WARNING] Due to several bugs in mount.glusterfs the validation of GlusterFS share cannot be reliable.
[ INFO  ] GlusterFS replica 3 Volume detected
[ INFO  ] Installing on first host
          Please provide storage domain name. [hosted_storage]:
          Local storage datacenter name is an internal name
          and currently will not be shown in engine's admin UI.
          Please enter local datacenter name [hosted_datacenter]:

Concerned about the "Local storage datacenter name is an internal name and currently will not be shown in engine's admin UI” message… I want to use a second distributed Gluster volume (name = “vmdata”) for VM storage if I can, and don’t want to mess up the install… What should I consider when setting names for the storage domain name and local datacenter names?

Thanks,
Will
