May I be so impertinent and ask for an ETA? :D

We are planning on building a hyper-converged cluster from scratch because we planned and bought the hardware before the announcement from Red Hat. We're glad to hear that there are no plans to remove Gluster from oVirt.

    Hi Sandro,
    I thought I had read somewhere on the list a few weeks ago that
    Gluster was having problems with 4.5 and that it wasn't going to
    be supported. Did I misundersand?


Gluster ansible roles for deploying new hyperconverged setups are currently broken due to the lack of the packaging of a few collections on the gluster side.
They're working on it, I think they'll fix that soon.
For existing setups, upgrades should work just fine. About the support for Gluster, the Gluster community didn't announce any planned EOL for the project so as long as it's maintained there's no reason to remove it from oVirt. Downstream wise, RHGS announced EOL in 2024 so for RHV, Red Hat is deprecating Gluster as storage to be used for storage domains. This would mean the community should help testing Gluster with oVirt to keep it working as Red Hat is lowering the effort on testing it.

    I recall a few months ago that the announcement was made to
    deprecate Gluster anyway, but I don't think the original plan was
    to remove support for it until later, but that due to some package
    dependencies, it needed to go away in 4.5.


We had to drop the roles in oVirt Node due to broken dependencies but that was fixed and it's back in for 4.5.0 GA.


    I was hoping to get all of my storage migrated onto Synology
    hardware later this year prior to upgraded to 4.5, but if Gluster
    is still supported and will work, perhaps I should go ahead and
    upgrade.

    I'm open to feedback.
    Posting to the list, as I'm sure others are in the same scenario
    as me.


Anyone who can provide feedback on this scenario?

    Hi,
    as usual, when a new oVirt release gets out, the previous one
    reaches the end of life.
    As of April 20th 2022 with oVirt 4.5.0 GA, oVirt 4.4 reached End
    Of Life, last release being 4.4.10.2 async release shipped live
    on March 03, 2022.
    Please upgrade to 4.5 as soon as practical in order to get
    further security and bug fixes updates.

    Thanks,
