[ovirt-users] Ovirt and Gluster

For RHEV I don't have an answer.

But for anyone that cares, we've been running oVirt 3.5 and GlusterFS
3.6 for about three months in production now. We run a Gluster cluster
and a seperate virtualization hosts cluster. The Gluster cluster is
installed, configured and managed seperately from oVirt as there is no
way to have a seperate storage network in oVirt 3.5

There have been no specific incompatibility issues, so we are very
happy. But as we don't use every feature mileage may vary.

The best thing is we we're able to kick our Corosync/Pacemaker/DRBD HA
iSCSI nightmare to the curb ;-)

We do recommend using only replica 3 and monitoring your environment and
glusterfs logfiles extensively.

Kind regards,

Jorick Astrego
