well, note:
- you don't need zfs on the hardeware machines, xfs or ext3 or ext4 would do it too
- for production you wouldn't use a glusterfs on top of a glusterfs but rather giving the vm access to a real blockdevice, like a whole harddisk or at least a partition of it although migration of the vm wouldn't be possible than...
therefor: a VM as a glusterserver might not be the best idea.
- remember to peer probe the glusterserver partner from both sides! as mentioned below

for a first setup you should be fine with that.

regards
