I think you're asking about this: http://gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.2:_Brick_Restoration_-_Replace_Crashed_Server (with minor modifications for gluster 3.3) However the gluster nodes really should have persistent storage of UUID and volume configuration. If every time your machine reboots it loses its /var/lib/glusterd/ directory then this is not good.
