There is a small note in the documentation that tells you it is easier to use hostnames when adding peers. If you don't have a DNS that can be easily achieved with the hosts-file. For now you could try to add the new IP as peer and then (I'm not 100% sure with this) if it doesn't integrate the brick, use the replace-brick command. -----Original Mail----- From: Pradeep Shettar [pradeep.shettar25 at gmail.com] Sent: 29.07.13 - 14:09:58 To: gluster-users at gluster.org Subject: Brick offline due to change of node's ip > Hi all, > ????????
