Re: [EXT] Renaming a brick.

Thank you all for this.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to try this.  In my attempt to change the brick name, I noticed I'm on Gluster 3.13  (Not a typo) .  So I proceeded to update to 6.10 then from there, to 9.4.  To 6.10 it went fine however from 6.10 to 9.4 everything blew up.  I got a torrent of error messages.  Struggled on it for several hours but no luck. 

So I ended up blowing up the cluster after copying the data out to a single drive, then copying it back to the Gluster 9.4 cluster once the cluster was ready.  Would have loved to debug to see what to do about each error but I simply ran out of time and needed to get the cluster back up quickly. ( Still have most of the logs if interested but without some context, it would be somewhat meaningless. ) 

Nontheless, I'll keep the notes below.  I have a few more Gluster clusters to work on.

Cheers

Hi Tom,

I think you could use the replace-brick sub-command; like: "gluster volume replace-brick <vol> <host>:/bricks/0/gv01     <host>:/bricks/0/abc-gv01  commit force"
see; https://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Administrator-Guide/Managing-Volumes/#replace-brick

Kind regards,

Olaf

Hi,

I use the sequence below to move a brick to a different peer. I assume it also works for renaming a brick (just put peer01 = peer02 = whateveryourpeeris).  I used this on a distributed-only volume (no replication) running glusterfs 9.3.
Please note that I didn't to extensive tests and I didn't find any documentation if this is officially supported.

best wishes,
-Stefan

#----------------------

    # stop glusterfsd for brick:

gluster v reset-brick gvol peer01:/old/path start

    # in your case,  you probably want to do something here like

mv  /old/path /new/path     

    #  add the moved path as new brick:

gluster v add-brick gvol peer02:/new/path force

    # Order is important!
    # if brick is removed before other brick is added,
    # will lead to duplicate files.
    #  remove old brick (which does not exist any longer)

gluster v remove-brick gvol peer01:/old/path force

    # probably not necessary in your case:

gluster v rebalance gvol fix-layout  start
