[ovirt-users] GlusterFS Hyperconvergence

Hello, I'm in the planning stage of setting up a new oVirt cluster, where I would prefer to use the local disks of the hypervisors for a GlusterFS storage domain. What is the current recommendation (for version 3.5.x)? I found this presentation which seems to suggest that it's possbile with some

Thanks Doron, I would initially start with a 3 host cluster, possibly adding more hosts later on. Is this enough to ensure integrity of the Gluster storage domain, eg. in case of host failure? What are recommendations (if they exist) for the type of Gluster volume for a 3-5 host cluster (replicat
