If nit, it's better to open a bug so this behaviour is investigated
further.
I haven't tried the POXIS compliant domain but from what I recall and
remember happening, I couldn't bind a host to more then a single
storage domain. I could be wrong but I couldn't select more then a
single storage domain a host could be associated with.
"Any POSIX compliant file system used as a storage domain in oVirt must
be a clustered file system, such as Global File System 2 (GFS2), and
must support sparse files and direct I/O. The Common Internet File
System (CIFS), for example, does not support direct I/O, making it
incompatible with oVirt."
Guessing this might not work if I have a Local LUN that's XFS or EXT4?
"Adding Local Storage
Adding local storage to a host in this manner causes the host to be put
in a new data center and cluster. The local storage configuration window
combines the creation of a data center, a cluster, and storage into a
single process."
This explains the reason for the removal.
Source: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/chap-Storage.html
So it was either Local storage or GlusterFS storage, but both couldn't
be bound to a single host.
Does oVirt have the facilities to test this out to see how it should
be done?

I'm not sure, but you can try with replica 1 gluster volume.
Later that gluster volume can be changed to replica 2 arbiter 1 or
even better replica 3 volume.
Now that I see this I'm not sure we're on the same page.
Thinking this might clarify a bit better. Let's take this scenario,
assume gluster is working perfectly:
HOST01
4TB Local LUN /dev/sdb
4TB Gluster FS (brick w/ host02,03) /dev/sdc
HOST02
4TB Local LUN /dev/sdb
4TB Gluster FS (brick w/ host01,03) /dev/sdc
HOST03
4TB Local LUN /dev/sdb
4TB Gluster FS (brick w/ host02,01) /dev/sdc
For each host I need the local LUN to be available for VM's with the
GlusterFS storage that's distributed across all three nodes.
However, when I tried to add a local LUN, the host was removed from the
storage domain rendering it unavailable. Now when I took out the local
LUN, I was able to readd that host to the GlusterFS storage domain.
So it appears I can't add a local LUN when a host is already
participating in a GlusterFS storage domain.

Manged to reverse it through the options. Had to deactivate the

Now I have my GlusterFS back and want to try and add some local
storage
to each host under the same DC, Cluster and Storage Domain. So
effectively I will have two storage locations. One on my
GlusterFS and
the other on the local storage I've just defined.
Appears I can't make them coexist with oVirt. Either the host
is placed
in a separate cluster with local storage, or I move it back to the
GlusterFS.
Appears I can't have two usable storage types under one host.
Is this
correct?
What I'm looking for is in the image and shared earlier.

My storage domain still exists. However I can't activate it. The

Difficult to tell what my next move should be.
Anyway to find out?

Once the process completed for both hosts, I noticed the Gluster

Reason why I need that is that Gluster is slow but provides
redundancy

requiring faster IO. So here's my sc
