Hello,
I am using glusterfs as the storage backend for the VM images, volumes
for oVirt consist of three bricks, is it still necessary to configure
the arbiter to be on the safe side? or since the number of bricks is
odd it will be done out of the box?
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Hi,
An arbiter volume is a special class of replica-3 volume. Arbiter is
special because the third brick of replica set contains only directory
hierarchy information and metadata. Therefore, arbiter provides
split-brain protection with the equivalent consistency of a replica-3
volume without incurring the additional storage space overhead.
If you already have a replica volume in your config with three
bricks then that config should be good. You do not need to create a arbiter.
Hope this helps !!
Thanks
