Troy,
Yes it would work, you can setup 4 servers in a distributed replicated
setup acting as NFS data store for VMWare. If any one of the storage
node goes down it will not be seen by the ESX hosts. Many users use
this type of config for storage HA

We've been looking for a way to have HA for our VMWare datastore, too. (Our
single server had a kernel panic last night and took down the VMs.)
We're very much interested in a similar setup, using Gluster, but I have a
question ...
i'm also interested in this. is there any pro/con to using native gluster
FUSE client for xen images? i would have thought that would mitigate the
use of ucarp (apart from initial connect).

Thanks for this. Is their any other advantage our disadvantage in using the
fuse client? Speed, reliability? In fact, has the anyone run vm's off fuse?

You can use SATA or SAS.
All,
We are in the process of determining a virtualized infrastructure and
wanted to hear from
current users of Gluster and VMWare. What we were looking to setup was
an HA ESXi cluster
(2 heads) with gluster backend (4 bricks to start,
replicated/distributed), all backend connectivity
