Re: promote arbiter to full replica

[Karthik Subrahmanya <ksubrahm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Yes you can do that.

- Make sure "gluster volume heal <volname> info" is zero.

- Remove the arbiter brick using the command "gluster volume remove-brick <volname> replica 2 <host:path-of-arbiter-brick>"

- Add a new brick of same size as of the other 2 data brick using the command "gluster volume add-brick <volname> replica 3 <host:new-brick-path>"

- heal info should become zero after some time (depends on the amount of data needs to be replicated to the new brick)

HTH,

Karthik

We have instructions for doing the reverse:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_gluster_storage/3.3/html/administration_guide/creating_arbitrated_replicated_volumes#sect-Convert_Rep2_to_Arbiter

But not for going from arbiter to a larger replica. If we get some instructions in this thread I can add them to the docs. :)

Hi!

I'm using glusterfs 4.1

I have a volume with replicas 3 arbiter 1.

Is it possible to promote the arbiter to a full replica so that the volume
has 3 full copies of all data.

I didn't find any documentation about that, so I guess it is not possible
to do, although I hope I've missed something, so perhaps somebody could
hint me to the right documentation


Best regards
