[ovirt-users] 3.6: GlusterFS data domain failover?

2015-11-20 Thread Wee Sritippho
Hi,

My POC environment have 2 hosts - host A and host B, both are CentOS7. 
Installed oVirt 3.6 self-hosted engine. I manually created a 2-brick 
GlusterFS volume using both hosts and added it to my datacenter.

I tried shutting down host A. The hosted-engine restarted in host B 
within 3 minutes, which is very cool. However, the GlusterFS data 
domain, which I set both 'Use Host' and 'Path' to the host A, is down 
along with it.

Here comes my questions:
1. How can I enable failover GlusterFS data domain?
2. How can I reverse back to the state before adding the data domain? 
The data domain is super persistent - I can't edit or delete it. I put 
it to maintenance mode but still unable to detach or destroy it because 
it requires me to remove the datacenter first. I tried but can't remove 
the datacenter either.
3. Why can't I add another GlusterFS data domain? When I choose 
'GlusterFS' as my 'Storage Type' every text field become grayed-out.
4. When host A restarted again, I notice that 'Use Host' was changed 
from host A to host B instead. Is this an expected behavior?

Regards,
Wee Sritippho

You are using replica 2 volume - this is not supported.

With replica 2, the file system becomes readonly as soon as one brick
is down.

Use replica 3 volume.

Get both bricks up, remove the storage domain.

If this is the only storage domain, maybe adding another brick,
converting ti to replica 3 will be enough.

Is this the only datacenter? You cannot remove it if the hosted engine
doamin is using it.

I recommend separating the data center used by the hosted engine
domain and data center used for your vms.

Maybe the selected host is down? Can you createa any other storage
domain?

Use host probably select the first host in the list of available hosts.
