Quick Update:
Ability to create GLUSTERFS_DOMAIN from oVirt web UI is now upstream.
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/8834/
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/8983/
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/13176/
This provides the capability to create a new DC, cluster of type
GLUSTERFS, ability to add new host to the GLUSTERFS DC/Cluster and
create a new storage domain of type GLUSTERFS and run VMs off it.
The VMs created using GLUSTERFS_DOMAIN exploits the QEMU-GlusterFS
native integration (QEMU's gluster block backend)
With this the complete oVirt virt-stack is now enabled for GLUSTERFS!
