For the record, I already rebooted node1; and the node2 took over the
existing VM from node 1 and vice-versa. 

GlusterFS worked fine, oVirt application was still working fine .. i
guess it is because it was a soft reboot which stops softly the
services. 

I got another case where i stuck the network on the 2 nodes
simultaneously after a bad manipulation on oVirt GUI and i got a split
brain. 

i kept the error at this very moment: 

root at devnix-virt-master02 nets]# gluster volume heal ovirt info
split-brain
Brick devnix-virt-master01:/gluster/ovirt/
/d44ee4b0-8d36-467a-9610-c682a618b698/dom_md/ids
Number of entries in split-brain: 1 

Brick devnix-virt-master02:/gluster/ovirt/
/d44ee4b0-8d36-467a-9610-c682a618b698/dom_md/ids
Number of entries in split-brain: 1 

This file was having same size on both nodes; so it was hard to select
one. Finally i chose the younger one and all was back online after the
heal. 

It is this kind of stuff you are talking about with 2 nodes ? 

For now, I don't have budget to take a third one; so i'm a bit stuck and
disappointing. 

I've a third device but for backup, it has lot of storage but low cpu
abilities (no VT-X) so i can't use it as hypervisor. 

I could maybe use it as a third brick but is it possible to have this
kind of configuration ? 2 actives nodes as hypervisor and 1 third only
for gluster replica 3 ? 

Cheers 

Nico
