[ovirt-users] Configuring Gluster Hyperconverged on Cloud

2018-12-04 Thread pawan . ratwani
Hi,
I would like to do hands-on on Gluster Hyperconverged environment, and as per 
my understanding compute and storage has to be on the same hosts. Since I don't 
have physical infra to support such configuration, I would like to setup 3-node 
cluster on Cloud e.g. AWS, or Azure.
I would like to know if I create an EC2 instance on AWS (or on Azure) with the 
desired Compute, Storage and Network capacity, is Gluster-hyperconverged 
cluster setup supported for such deployment ?
I am referring https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/gluster-hyperconverged/ for 
this.

Thanks.

If you care about the existing data on NFS storage - you can create a new
GlusterFS storage domain and copy vdisks from NFS storage domain to the
GlusterFS one.

[ovirt-users] Configuring Gluster

2018-01-04 Thread carl langlois
Hi all,

I am in the process of adding GlusterFS storage to our already ovirt setup.
I am using 4.1.8 for now but plan to upgrade to 4.2 later. I need your
suggestions on what is the best approach for replacing my NFS storage to a
GlusterFS storage..


Thanks for all your inputs.

i have very little understanding of glusterfs right know, but
what i

storage
specific UI was the "Services" tab for the storage cluster
which is
empty.

once gluster hosts are added into the UI, user will be able to see
volumes created on that hosts and to use them as storage
domains. For
this you will need to create a new storage domain with the mount
path
as gluster volume path.


i'm not using a hyperconverged/self-hosted setup, my engine is
located on a dedicated server and i used iSCSI storage for data
master domain. my hosts (for hypervisors and gluster storage)
where
installed on top of centos7, not using oVirt Node.

does my setup make sense (it's only for testing)?
do i have to configure gluster hosts manually?

yes, you will have to do this manually .

Installing gluster packages have to done manually. Once gluster
packages
are installed you can create a gluster cluster from ovirt UI , add
gluster hosts and create volumes on them using the volumes tab.


i'm sorry, but i'm missing all these "Gluster Volumes" UI components
that are mentioned in
http://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/gluster/gluster-support/.


the tabs i see for my storage cluster are "General", "Logical
Networks", "Hosts", "Services", "Permissions". as i said
"Services" is
empty, is that a problem?

what's wrong?

Does your cluster has both virt+gluster enabled or only virt ? If only
virt you will not be able to see them.

If the cluster has both virt+gluster service enabled or only gluster
service enabled you should be able to see them.


my storage cluster has only gluster service enabled

matthias



I think you have selected the cluster and you are referring to the sub
tabs for that cluster. There should be a main tab called 'Volumes' which
is present. Are you not seeing that? I have attached screenshot for the
same.



thanks for the screenshot, now i know how it should look like. i'm
attaching my screenshot. i'm missing a couple of elements, especially
"Cluster Node Type" (i don't have that in my VM cluster either). is
there an obvious explanation? next step would be to recreate the
gluster cluster with "clean" oVirt Nodes. maybe my storage hosts are
botched, i had glusterfs 3.10 packages installed on one of them
previously

thanks a lot so far
matthias


During the engine-setup when application mode was asked hope you have
set "Both" .



no, i didn't... (didn't know what i was doing then)
i'm learning it the hard way... going to start again from scratch...
still i think oVirt is a great product, thanks for software and support ;-)

It is always recommended to have 3 hosts as we say that in replica 3 
volumes there is less / no chance to see split brain issues. For hyper 
converged setup 3 hosts are mandatory.
do i need oVirt Node/cockpit on the storage hosts to do further 
configuration?
you can reduce the pain of configuring gluster hosts manually if we 
cockpit on centos7 / Ovirt Node.

empty.
once gluster hosts are added into the UI, user will be able to see 
volumes created on that hosts and to use them as storage domains. For 
this you will need to create a new storage domain with the mount path as 
gluster volume path.


i'm not using a hyperconverged/self-hosted setup, my engine is located 
on a dedicated server and i used iSCSI storage for data master domain. 
my hosts (for hypervisors and gluster storage) where installed on top 
of centos7, not using oVirt Node.


does my setup make sense (it's only for testing)?
do i have to configure gluster hosts manually?

yes, you will have to do this manually .
do i need more than 2 storage hosts when i want to configure gluster 
with ovirt (in hyperconverged setup 3 hosts are mandatory)?
It is always recommended to have 3 hosts as we say that in replica 3 
volumes there is less / no chance to see split brain issues. For hyper 
converged setup 3 hosts are mandatory.
do i need oVirt Node/cockpit on the storage hosts to do further 
configuration?
you can reduce the pain of configuring gluster hosts manually if we 
cockpit on centos7 / Ovirt Node.

[ovirt-users] configuring gluster volumes/bricks from ovirt ??

2017-05-03 Thread Matthias Leopold

hi,


i'm trying to get into this gluster thing with oVirt and added a 2 node 
gluster cluster to my oVirt 4.1 data center (just for testing, i know it 
can't have HA with 2 nodes). provisioning of the storage hosts did 
apparently work and my storage cluster seems to be operational.


i have very little understanding of glusterfs right know, but what i 
think i am missing in the interface is a way to configure volumes/bricks 
on my gluster cluster/hosts so i can use them for storage domains (i 
want to use a "managed gluster volume"), the drop down "Gluster" in "New 
domain" is empty. all i could find for storage specific UI was the 
"Services" tab for the storage cluster which is empty.
