<html><head></head><body>Hi there,<br><br>I'm planning to setup a 3-Node Cluster for oVirt and would like to use 56 GBe (RoCe) <br>exclusively for GlusterFS. Since 56 GBe switches are far too expensive and it's not <br>planned to add more nodes and furthermore this would add a SPOF I'd like to <br>cross connect the nodes as shown in the diagram below:<br><br>Node 1 Node 2 Node3<br> ||_______||________||<br> |___________________|<br><br>This way there's a dedicated 56 Gbit connection to/from each member node. <br><br>Is is possible to do this with GlusterFS? <br>My first thought was to have different IPs on each node's /etc/host mapped to the node <br>hostnames but I'm unsure if I can force GlusterFS to hostnames instead of IPs.<br><br>Patrick<br></body></html>
