The strange thing is now:
One of the 2 GlusterFS hosts (these hosts and the Gluster volumes are

can mount it manually.

So the first question is: why should these hosts mount the storage
domains? They are in a cluster without virtualization, so it's not
possible to run virtual machines on these hosts. I think they try to
mount the storage domains because the storage domains are attached to
the data center, but imho the cluster should be checked as well if
virtualization is enabled.

So I was thinking of moving the GlusterFS cluster to a new data
center without storage domains, but this is impossible as Gluster
volumes are created. The only possibility would be to remove the
Gluster volume.

So do you have any idea how I can solve this issue? I mean the
Gluster volume is working fine, but it's really disturbing that I get
an error message every 5 minutes.


Just to let you know you're not the only one with this problem. I have
had it too a couple of times and still don't know the right
incantation to get rid of it. I have the same setup: 2 clusters,
storage and virt, 2 nodes each, one datacenter. Currently on 3.4.1 and
had the problem on the 3.2/3 series. For me it seemed related to
upgrading but that could be just chance. It might as well be related
to a complete shutdown/restart of all machines ( this test setup is
not behind a ups which gives some rare opportunities to troubleshoot
problems :-) )



Yes, this is a bug I would think. For a gluster only cluster, the
storage domain is not relevant.

Could you log a bug with the error attached, and we will try to fix
this. If it's a simple enough fix, we could backport it to 3.4


Done: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1105513

I used component vdsm, but maybe it should belong to webadmin - I'm a 
bit unsure which component is responsible for this.



Thanks,
René
