"replica 1" is not required on command when you're not replicating to
another server.
So,

gluster volume create engine-rep georep.nwfiber.com:/mnt/gluster/engine-rep

To move to a dedicated gluster setup, 2 gluster servers + 1 oVirt node
holding the arbiter brick should work.

Distributed or stretch cluster does not work off the bat yet. If a volume
is geo-replicated to another location, the destination volume cannot be a
storage domain in a cluster, as geo-replication needs the destination
volume data to be in sync with master.
Another option is for the master volume/cluster is spread across
geographies - but this requires the network latency to be very low in order
for this to work as all operations are synchronous in gluster.
We're working on features in both gluster and Ovirt to support the
stretched cluster requirements.
