Re: Arbiter and Hot Tier

Okay, just tried it in 3.9  Even though attaching a non arbiter volume (say a replica-2 ) as hot-tier is succeeding at the CLI level, the brick volfiles seem to be generated incorrectly (I see that the arbiter translator is getting loaded in one of the replica-2 bricks too, which is incorrect). I'd recommend not to use arbiter for tiering irrespective of hot or cold tier.

Did that change between 3.9 and 3.10? When I originally saw some references on the Redhat storage packaged solution about a possible incompatibility I assumed it just meant that the hot tier itself couldn't be an arbiter volume.

I was tripped up by the change in apparent support for the cold tier between 3.9 and 3.10. But maybe that was just a fixed oversight which never should have worked in the first place?

Hi Walter,
Yes, arbiter volumes are currently not supported with tiering.

I've been googling this to no avail so apologies if this is explained somewhere I missed.

Is there a known incompatibility between using arbiters and hot tiering?


Experience on 3.9


Original volume - replica 3 arbiter 1

Attach replica 2 arbiter 1 hot tier - failure

Attach replica 3 hot tier - success


Experience on 3.10


Original volume - replica 3 arbiter 1

Attach replica 2 arbiter 1 hot tier - failure

Attach replica 3 hot tier - failure

Attach hot tier without specifying replica - success but comes in as a distributed tier which I would assume totally negates the point of having a replicated cold tier?


The specific error message I get is "volume attach-tier: failed: Increasing replica count for arbiter volumes is not supported."
