      <pre wrap="">Hello,

The subject says it all. I have a replica 3 cluster :

    gluster&gt; volume info thedude
     
    Volume Name: thedude
    Type: Replicate
    Volume ID: bc68dfd3-94e2-4126-b04d-77b51ec6f27e
    Status: Started
    Snapshot Count: 0
    Number of Bricks: 1 x 3 = 3
    Transport-type: tcp
    Bricks:
    Brick1: ngluster-1.network.hoggins.fr:/export/brick/thedude
    Brick2: ngluster-2.network.hoggins.fr:/export/brick/thedude
    Brick3: ngluster-3.network.hoggins.fr:/export/brick/thedude
    Options Reconfigured:
    cluster.server-quorum-type: server
    transport.address-family: inet
    nfs.disable: on
    performance.readdir-ahead: on
    client.event-threads: 8
    server.event-threads: 15


... and I would like to replace, say ngluster-2 with an arbiter-only
node, without any data. Is that possible ? How ?</pre>
    </blockquote>
    <tt>Yes, you would need to reduce it to replica 2 and then convert
      it to arbiter.<br>
      1. Ensure there are no pending heals, i.e. heal info shows zero
      entries. <br>
      2. gluster volume remove-brick thedude replica 2
      ngluster-3.network.hoggins.fr:/export/brick/thedude force<br>
      3. gluster volume add-brick thedude replica 3 arbiter 1
      &lt;IP:brick path of the new arbiter brick&gt;<br>
      <br>
      HTH,<br>
      Ravi<br>
