H i, Asynchronous replication in GlusterFS is Geo-replication, which is replicating data between two GlusterFS clusters. You cannot create a asynchronous replicated volume. Basically, you create two volumes in different geographies and then setup "asynchronous replication" b/w the two. The volumes itself could be pure distribute, pure replicate or distributed-replicate.
