oVirt gerrit 65796 0 master ABANDONED engine: Support unmanaged volumes for geo-rep 2020-11-29 01:56:20 UTC

Description Sahina Bose 2016-09-22 06:51:45 UTC 
Description of problem:

Currently geo-replication setup restricts that the slave volume is also managed by the oVirt instance which manages the master gluster volume.

But there are use cases in which the slave volume is at a remote site with flaky network connection and we do not want to further burden network managing and polling this instance

The restrictions on choosing the gluster volume should be removed with warning if needed that slave volume suitability cannot be checked.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
NA

Steps to Reproduce:
NA.
Comment 1 Sahina Bose 2016-12-16 06:06:10 UTC 
Setting up geo-replication with a non-managed volume has challenges as there's no vdsm on remote host to setup passwordless ssh and run mount broker commands.
Comment 2 Sahina Bose 2017-09-22 11:54:19 UTC 
Need to check if this can be done via Ansible roles
Comment 3 Gobinda Das 2020-03-05 09:48:58 UTC 
In Ansible role we have few implementation for geo-rep but now we don't have plan for this.Closing this now.Will create new bug related to geo-rep for next release.
