How to create brick (Red hat storage server)
Hi All,
I want to add brick to the volume in Red hat virtualization manager.
I installed Glusterfs on RHEL server virtual machine and i am to create brick successfully.
But i am not able to add RHEL server virtual machine(Glusterfs installed) to the hosts list and that's why not able to create a volume with brick.
Do i need Redhat storage server to create bricks?
Will it not work with RHEL server OS?
Regards,
Ankit

hi Ankit,
Bricks are part of Red Hat Storage.
I have not seen away to manage them on Native RHEL. In the "supported" configuration a RHEL server is a client of a Red Hat Storage environment.
Kind regards,

Ankit, you do need Red Hat Storage Server instead of upstream/community GlusterFS to maintain a supported environment with RHEV. Else, the storage side would be unsupported.
