Hi All,
Just a quick update.
Support for GLUSTERFS_DOMAIN is now available in VDSM
upstream. This helps VDSM exploit Gluster natively by using the
QEMU's gluster block backend.
For those who are interested, the entire patchseries can be
viewed @
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/q/project:vdsm+branch:master+topic:gluster_domain_support,n,z
As the commit msg says...
This patch introduces a new storage domain of type
GLUSTERFS_DOMAIN, which uses gluster as the
storage backend.
In GLUSTERFS_DOMAIN, vdsm creates the storage domain by
mounting
the gluster volume (akin to nfs mounting
export path). VMs
created using this domain exploit the QEMU's
gluster block
backend. Instead of accessing the vmdisk as a
file path, it
accesses the vmdisk as a network disk device,
served by gluster
server/volume.
With this the virt. stack comprising of qemu, libvirt, vdsm is
now enabled to exploit GlusterFS natively.
The next step is to have support for Gluster Storage domain
in oVirt web UI, which is a WIP, which once done will complete
the entire virt. stack enablement for Gluster.
More details about this can be seen @
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/q/status:open+project:ovirt-engine+branch:master+topic:glusterfs,n,z
oVirt feature page for Gluster storage domain support can

thanx,
