Description Ala Hino 2015-11-30 09:17:11 UTC 
Description of problem:
In oVirt 3.5, admins were able to create gluster sds with any volume type. However, in 3.6 and because we recommend using replica 3 volumes, we enforced using only replica 3 volumes. Enforcing means not allowing admins to create non-replica 3 volumes (although admins were still able to configure supported replicas). 
This enforcement introduced major issue when upgrading deployments using non-replica 3 volumes. Actually, 3.5 deployments using non-replica 3 volumes stopped working when upgraded to 3.6.

We would like to have the following behavior:
1. Allow creating sds with any replica count
2. If replica count is not 3, display an alert to the admin

Comment 2 Nir Soffer 2015-12-08 20:49:44 UTC 
We should warn also when connecting to existing gluster storage domain, not only when creating a new gluster storage domain.

oVirt 3.6.2 RC1 has been released for testing, moving to ON_QA
Comment 6 Ala Hino 2016-01-05 16:20:20 UTC 
For clarification:
Please note that log message is presented only when replica count is not supported as defined in "allowed_replica_counts" config value. By default, replica 1 and 3 are supported.
In addition, the log message appears in vdsm log. Look for:
"Unsupported replica count" 
or
"please upgrade volume to replica 3"

Displaying an alert to the admin is not in the scope if this bug, see bug 1291705
