      <div> I remember we had one user in Redhat who wanted to do the
        same procedure on his production workload with 3.8.x upstream
        bits and it worked fine. I forget which version it was. Ravi, do
        you remember?</div>

    <p>Looks like 3.8.0 contains the CLI to convert replica 2 to
      arbiter: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://review.gluster.org/14502">http://review.gluster.org/14502</a><br>
      Increasing replica count doesn't trigger rebalance. Self-heal
      daemon will automatically sync the metadata to the arbiter brick
      after you add it.<br>
