<br>
I'm running oVirt 3.6 management engine that is currently overseeing 4<br>
compute nodes, attached to iSCSI storage over Infiniband. The compute<br>
nodes have 8 hot-swap hard drive slots, with each only having 2 slots<br>
occupied in a hardware RAID array level one for the hypervisor to live<br>
on.<br>
<br>
Would it be possible for me to set up each compute node with a second<br>
array in the remaining 6 hot-swap slots, and utilize that new space for<br>
a nice fault tolerant GlusterFS storage array ?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That schema is called hyper-converged.</div><div>Please see:</div><div><a href="https://fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/virt_iaas_ovirt_hyperconverge/attachments/slides/1119/export/events/attachments/virt_iaas_ovirt_hyperconverge/slides/1119/presentation_fosdem.pdf">https://fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/virt_iaas_ovirt_hyperconverge/attachments/slides/1119/export/events/attachments/virt_iaas_ovirt_hyperconverge/slides/1119/presentation_fosdem.pdf</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Take care that currently it's not production ready.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">

1. Would the system allow me to add the Gluster storage to the existing<br>
datacenter/cluster that is currently using iSCSI ?<br>
<br>
2. Would I be able to configure all aspects of the Gluster<br>
environment(except the hardware RAID array)through the GUI ?<br>
<br>
3. What hardware RAID level would be optimal for this configuration ?<br>
(RHEV documentation says RAID 6 is "Mandatory")<br>
<br>
4. Will the system support live migration between storage domains ?<br>
<br>
I'm reading through the gluster documentation now to get a better<br>
understanding of it's inner workings. Is there a good source for Gluster<br>
on oVirt that i can reference as well ?<br>
