Hi Pavel,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We setup an extra NFS on one of the hosts, and setup as hosted-engine.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">That way, it works for us.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Using Gluster 3-way with CTDB was our initial plan, but we moved away from it as it seems unnecassiry complicated.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Kind reagrds,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">—</div>

<div class="PlainText">Hi,<br class="">
<br class="">
We have all nodes like you (5 currently), and have them setup as NFS instead of local storage.<br class="">
<br class="">
You have slight overhead because it's NFS, but not so much, and it allows you to migrate VMs and disks, even if it's a manual disk, eg no HA will be possible.<br class="">
<br class="">
So yeah, to me, it's a good option given your setup.<br class="">
<br class="">
Best,<br class="">
