Due to POSIX compliance, oVirt needs 512 byte physical sector size. If your SSD/NVME has the new standard (4096) you will need to use VDO with '--emulate512' flag (or whatever it was named). Yet, if you already got 512 physical sector size - you can skip VDO totally. About the mount options of

"...Tuning Gluster with VDO bellow is quite difficult and the overhead of using VDO could reduce performance " Yup. hense creation of a dedicated data00 volume from the 1TB SSD each server had. Matched options listed in oVirt.. but still OCP would not address the drive as target for

Tuning Gluster with VDO bellow is quite difficult and the overhead of using VDO could reduce performance . I would try with VDO compression and dedup disabled.If your SSD has 512 byte physical & logical size, you can skip VDO at all to check performance. Also FS mount options are very important

The response was that when I select the oVirt HCI storage volumes to deploy to (with VDO enabled) which are a single 512GB SSD with only one small IDM VM running. The IPI OCP 4.7 deployment fails. RH closed ticket because "gluster volume is too slow". I then tried to create with my other

It was on a support ticket / call I was having. I googled around and the only article I found was the one about features being removed.. But not sure if this effects oVirt / HCI. My ticket was about trying to deploy OCP on a full SSD cluster of three nodes and disk performance over 10Gb will

What do you mean Gluster being announced as EOL? Where did you find this information? On Mon, Apr 26, 2021 at 9:34 AM penguin pages wrote: > > I have been building out HCI stack with KVM/RHEV + oVirt with the HCI > deployment process. This is very nice for small / remote site use cases, > but
