The Oracle Linux and Virtualization team is pleased to announce the release of Gluster Storage Release 5 for Oracle Linux 7, bringing customers higher performance, new storage capabilities and improved management.
Gluster Storage is an open source, POSIX compatible file system capable of supporting thousands of clients while using commodity hardware. Gluster provides a scalable, distributed file system that aggregates disk storage resources from multiple servers into a single global namespace. Gluster provides built-in optimization for different workloads and can be accessed using an optimized Gluster FUSE client or standard protocols including SMB/CIFS. Gluster can be configured to enable both distribution and replication of content with quota support, snapshots, and bit-rot detection for self-healing.
Gluster Storage Release 5 introduces the support for the following new important capabilities:
Further enhancement and new features in Gluster Storage Release 5 for Oracle Linux 7 are:
Gluster Storage Release 5 for Oracle Linux 7 supports:

It is currently available for the x86_64 and aarch64 architectures and can be installed on any Oracle Linux 7 server running the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) Release 4 or 5 or the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK).
For more information on hardware requirements and how to install and configure Gluster, please review the Gluster Storage for Oracle Linux Release 5 documentation.

Gluster 5 is supported on Oracle Linux 7; Gluster is a distributed storage solution that can perfectly work alone and does not need oVirt integration.
That said, we're working to support Hyperconverged Infrastructure and Gluster support with also Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager.
Stay tuned!
Thanks

Oracle oVirt can uses/connects to Glusterfs with Hyperconverged or without it. I know Oracle are going to support Hyperconverged on oVirt 4.3 but the question is:
Installing oVirt (Manager/Hypervisors) and using Glusterfs to make datacenter and connect this to Oracle oVirt. Is this supported or not?! this way doesn't mean Hyperconverged.
Regards
for this kind of request (configuration supportability) you have to open a Service Request to Oracle and get the proper answer there.
What I can suggest you is to possibly wait for the next release of OLVM and Gluster.
Thanks
Simon
