[ovirt-users] configuring gluster volumes/bricks from ovirt ??

[Matthias Leopold]

hi,


i'm trying to get into this gluster thing with oVirt and added a 2 node 
gluster cluster to my oVirt 4.1 data center (just for testing, i know it 
can't have HA with 2 nodes). provisioning of the storage hosts did 
apparently work and my storage cluster seems to be operational.

i have very little understanding of glusterfs right know, but what i 
think i am missing in the interface is a way to configure volumes/bricks 
on my gluster cluster/hosts so i can use them for storage domains (i 
want to use a "managed gluster volume"), the drop down "Gluster" in "New 
domain" is empty. all i could find for storage specific UI was the 
"Services" tab for the storage cluster which is empty.

i'm not using a hyperconverged/self-hosted setup, my engine is located 
on a dedicated server and i used iSCSI storage for data master domain. 
my hosts (for hypervisors and gluster storage) where installed on top of 
centos7, not using oVirt Node.

does my setup make sense (it's only for testing)?
do i have to configure gluster hosts manually?
do i need more than 2 storage hosts when i want to configure gluster 
with ovirt (in hyperconverged setup 3 hosts are mandatory)?
do i need oVirt Node/cockpit on the storage hosts to do further 
configuration?

thanks a lot for reading
