Hi Strahil,
Can you give us some more insights on
- the volume configuration you were using?
- why you wanted to replace your brick?
- which brick(s) you tried replacing?
- what problem(s) did you face?
Regards,
Karthik

Hi Karthnik,
I used only once the brick replace function when I wanted to change my Arbiter (v3.12.15 in oVirt 4.2.7) and it was a complete disaster.
Most probably I should have stopped the source arbiter before doing that, but the docs didn't mention it.Thus I always use reset-brick, as it never let me down.
Best Regards,

It is introduced in 3.9.0. He has to go with replace-brick with the force option if he wants to use the same path & name for the new brick.Yes, it is recommended to have the new brick to be of the same size as that of the other bricks.Regards,KarthikOn Wed, Apr 10, 2019 at 10:31 PM Strahil <hunter86_bg@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:I have used reset-brick - but I have just changed the brick layout.
You may give it a try, but I guess you need your new brick to have same amount of space (or more).
Maybe someone more experienced should share a more sound solution.
Best Regards,
