These are the correct steps. I'll add that we did some experiments and pre-staging the data on the new brick did seem to reduce the rebuild time. -----Original Message----- From: gluster-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gluster-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Nag Pavan Chilakam Sent: Friday, December 02, 2016 8:42 AM To: Miloš Čučulović - MDPI <cuculovic@xxxxxxxx> Cc: gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Add new server to glusterFS (replica) Hi Milos, You need to follow the below steps: 1)once you identify server2, install the same version gluster packages as in server1 2) peer server2 from server1 3) do a "gluster volume add-brick <volname> replica 2 <server2 brickpath which you want as the replica pair> The syncing of files in your gluster storage will happen automatically when self-heal deamon picks up the job.

I purchased a 2nd server and would like to add it as replica. Could someone propose a tutorial? Should I first sync the files between server1 and server2?
