[Gluster-users] promote arbiter to full replica

[Joseph Wenninger]

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

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. :)

Cheers,
Laura B

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
