Quick Update:
Ability to create GLUSTERFS_DOMAIN from oVirt web UI is now upstream.
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/8834/
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/8983/
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/13176/
This provides the capability to create a new DC, cluster of type
GLUSTERFS, ability to add new host to the GLUSTERFS DC/Cluster and
create a new storage domain of type GLUSTERFS and run VMs off it.
The VMs created using GLUSTERFS_DOMAIN exploits the QEMU-GlusterFS
native integration (QEMU's gluster block backend)
With this the complete oVirt virt-stack is now enabled for GLUSTERFS!

Hi All,
Just a quick update.
Support for GLUSTERFS_DOMAIN is now available in VDSM upstream. This
helps VDSM exploit Gluster natively by using the QEMU's gluster block
backend.
For those who are interested, the entire patchseries can be viewed @
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/q/project:vdsm+branch:master+topic:gluster_domain_support,n,z
As the commit msg says...
/This patch introduces a new storage domain of type//
//GLUSTERFS_DOMAIN, which uses gluster as the storage backend./
/In GLUSTERFS_DOMAIN, vdsm creates the storage domain by mounting//
//the gluster volume (akin to nfs mounting export path). VMs//
//created using this domain exploit the QEMU's gluster block//
//backend. Instead of accessing the vmdisk as a file path, it//
//accesses the vmdisk as a network disk device, served by gluster//
//server/volume./
With this the virt. stack comprising of qemu, libvirt, vdsm is now
enabled to exploit GlusterFS natively.
The next step is to have support for Gluster Storage domain in oVirt
web UI, which is a WIP, which once done will complete the entire virt.
stack enablement for Gluster.
More details about this can be seen @
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/q/status:open+project:ovirt-engine+branch:master+topic:glusterfs,n,z
oVirt feature page for Gluster storage domain support can be viewed @
