reset brick is another way of replacing a brick. this usually helpful, 
when you want to replace the brick with same name. You can find the 
documentation here 
https://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/release-notes/3.9.0/#introducing-reset-brick-command.

In your case, I think you can use replace brick. So you can initiate a 
reset-brick start, then you have to replace your failed disk and create 
new brick with same name . Once you have healthy disk and brick, you can 
commit the reset-brick.


Let's know if you have any question,
