I think just defining each SSD as a single Gluster brick may provide the best performance for VMs, but my understanding of this is theoretical, so I leave it to the Gluster people to provide further insight. Pardon my lack of knowledge (I'm an oVirt/Gluster newbie). I assume the

Is that a hyper-converged setup of both oVirt and Gluster? We usually do it in batches of 3 nodes. Yes, it is for a HC setup of both oVirt & Gluster. ..it really depends on your budget, performance, and your availability requirements. I would like to enhance the performance. Makes sense

Martin, Looking to test oVirt on real hardware (aka no nesting) Scenario # 1: 1x Supermicro 2027TR-HTRF 2U 4 node server I will install the o/s for each node on a SATADOM. Since each node will have 6x SSD for gluster storage. Should this be software RAID, hardware RAID or no RAID? Scenario #
