<p>Hi all!</p>
Today I have a small gluster replication on 2 machines.<br>
My plan is to scale this, I though need some feedback that how I
plan things is in the right direction.<br>
<br>
First of all I have understood the need of an arbiter.<br>
When I scale this, say that I just have 2 replica and 1 arbiter,
when I add another two machines can I still use the same physical
machine as the arbiter?<br>
Or when I add additional two machines I have to add another arbiter
machine as well?<br>
<br>
My second question is about geo-replication.<br>
If I want to setup a geo-replication on above gluster cluster do I
need to have the exact "same" machines in the reo-replication?<br>
I know that disk size should be same size on both the brick and on
the geo-replication side.<br>
So if I have 2 replica and 1 arbiter, do I need 2 replica and 1
arbiter for the geo-replication?<br>
Or is it sufficient for a 2 replica and 1 arbiter to use 1 replica
for the geo-replication?<br>
What I wonder is when I scale my gluster with additional 2 machines,
do I need 2 machines for geo-replication or 1 machine for
geo-replication?<br>
So adding 2 machines means adding 4 machines in total or do I just
need 3 in total?<br>
Is there a need for a arbiter in the geo-replication?<br>
<br>
Many questions, but I hope that you can help me out!<br>
<br>
Many thanks in advance!<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
