[ovirt-users] Ovirt and Gluster

[Alex Crow]

Hi,

That does not provide any answers to the OP's questions. And it also 
still fails to *explicitly* mention that gfapi acceleration is not 
available unless you use oVirt 3.6.0 (which AFAIK is still in beta). I 
raised a documentation bug about that many months ago and I still feel 
it has not been adequately addressed (ie all the "Feature Complete" 
entries on the page you link suggests it's ready in Stable releases).

He asked about a production scenario. For all that are interested, I've 
had very poor results including VM image corruption on my home setup 
using plain old KVM on top of GlusterFS. If I can't even get a home 
infrastructure working to my satisfaction, what hope is there for a 
corporate production environment? I appreciate that this is not really 
the oVirt teams fault, but a lot of us are really frustrated in trying 
to find a reliable setup for oVirt/GlusterFS and keep banging our heads 
against the same wall.

For now for production loads on oVirt/RHEV, we'll be firmly sticking to 
iSCSI for our VM storage - I'd rather even roll my own failover using 
DRDB/corosync/pacemaker for the lowest capex. We'd love it if we could 
use Ceph RBD but for some reason RedHat don't seem to want to drive 
that, rather relying on OpenStack Cinder as an intermediary, which seems 
silly for a pure Virtualisation setup (ie not a multi-tenanted private 
cloud).

Perhaps, being from RedHat, you could suggest the closest community 
versions of oVirt and Gluster to your commercial equivalents of RHEV/RHSS?

Thanks

Alex
