Description SATHEESARAN 2019-06-25 09:02:28 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1723728 +++

Description of problem:
-----------------------
VDO works as 512e device as 4KN support was not available earlier.
4KN support will be available with the latest sanlock package and now the VDO option to emulate 512 byte device, can be safely removed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
-------------------------------------------------------------
cockpit-ovirt-dashboard-0.13.2

How reproducible:
-----------------
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
-------------------
1. Remove the VDO option to emulate 512

Actual results:
----------------
VDO has an option to emulate 512

Expected results:
-----------------
VDO need not emulate 512
Comment 1 SATHEESARAN 2019-06-25 09:02:53 UTC 
Note: QE validation of 4KN device support is still under testing, and this can be completed only by mid of July. So please proceed with the fix, only after QE acks the 4KN support works
Comment 2 SATHEESARAN 2019-08-07 14:03:33 UTC 
As per RHHI-V Pgm call on 07-Aug, re-targeting this bug to RHV 4.3.7 as 4KN support had other issues to be solved
Comment 7 SATHEESARAN 2020-01-09 07:14:23 UTC 
The dependent bug is ON_QA and moving this bug too to ON_QA
Comment 8 SATHEESARAN 2020-01-09 10:01:48 UTC 
Tested with cockpit-ovirt-dashboard-0.13.9

When the gluster-inventory.yml file is generated with VDO enabled,
emulate512 is set to 'off'
