Description of the use case:
#################################

As a user, I would like set up Container-Native Storage volumes for geo-replication to a non-Container-Native Storage remote site. Current documenation briefly specifies the details but a more detailed documentation for this use case will be very handy.

Hence would like to request for a change/addition to the documentation for the above use case

Moreover , the current documentation points towards Geo-rep on gluster  v3.2 instead of latest gluster v3.3.

Document Link

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/container-native_storage/3.9/html-single/container-native_storage_for_openshift_container_platform/

Document Section
######################
 
Chapter 11. Operations on a Red Hat Gluster Storage Pod in an OpenShift Environment --> Point #10.

Current details in doc
##########################

Currently the doc has a brief description of configuring geo-rep on CNS and then points to the gluster geo-rep documentation. But the geo-rep settings for CNS and standalone Gluster vary significantly, hence it would be better to get the geo-rep setup details in CNS perspective.

Snippet from current document
###############################

You can set up Container-Native Storage volumes for geo-replication to a non-Container-Native Storage remote site. Geo-replication uses a master–slave model. Here, the Container-Native Storage volume acts as the master volume. To set up geo-replication, you must run the geo-replication commands on gluster pods. To enter the gluster pod shell, execute the following command:
 # oc rsh <gluster_pod_name>
For more information about setting up geo-replication, refer https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_gluster_storage/3.2/html/administration_guide/chap-managing_geo-replication.



CNS+GEO-REP use case may also include documenting some of the following points:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a) All prerequisite information and possible setup details. e.g passwordless ssh authentication in CNS setup for geo-rep, etc.
 
(b) All possible implementations which can be supported for Geo-rep in CNS , i.e. 
    1 In case of CNS on master and non-cns in slave, complete setup requirement on both sides, including the passwordless ssh authentication information.
    
    2. Whether we can have geo-rep between volumes of 2 CNS DCs. If yes, what could be the setup requirements and use cases, in terms of pods and pvcs.

If documented, it would help in setting up a geo-rep deployment without errors.
