Chapter 5. Managing Red Hat Gluster Storage Servers and Volumes using Red Hat Virtualization Manager

You can create and configure Red Hat Gluster Storage volumes using Red Hat Virtualization Manager 3.3 or later by creating a separate cluster with the Enable Gluster Service option enabled.

A volume is a logical collection of bricks where each brick is an export directory on a server in the trusted storage pool. Most of the management operations for Red Hat Gluster Storage happen on these volumes. You can use Red Hat Virtualization Manager to create and start new volumes featuring a single global namespace.
