OVirt + Gluster is called 'Hyperconverged' setup and it supports only replica3 or a 'replica3 arbiter1' volumes. Vmware VSAN is another popular Hyperconverged Setup but requires a lot of licenses. The CPU and Disk resources are plenty on virtualization Hosts and this setup allows you to save space by removal of the iSCSI/NFS/SAN dedicated system.
The setup is quite popular and it works quite well, but requires a 10G network (as load balancing smaller NICs is very hard ) - if performance is required, while even a 1 gbit/s NIC is possible to be used. Note: 1gbit/s will provide no more than 87 MB/s on gluster level for all your VMs , which is very poor. If you have 4 hosts -> one of them will not be in the gluster setup, or you will have 2 separate gluster volumes like this: oVirt1- Replica for volume A oVirt2- Replica for volume A , arbiter for volume B oVirt3 - Replica for volume B,arbiter for volume A oVirt4 - Replica for volume B Then you add them as hosts in your oVirt setup.
