[ovirt-users] Ovirt Node 4.1.1.1 installation, engine on gluster, existing disk sdb not found or filtered, deployment fails

[Oliver Dietzel]

Actual size as displayed by lsblk is 558,9G , a combined size of 530 GB worked (engine 100, data 180, vmstore 250),
but only without thin provisioning. Deployment failed with thin provisioning enabled, but worked with fixed sizes.

Now i hang in hosted engine deployment (having set installation with gluster to yes when asked) with error:

"Failed to execute stage 'Environment customization': Invalid value provided to 'ENABLE_HC_GLUSTER_SERVICE' "

I think you should input the size as 500GB if your actual disk size is 530 ?
