 Yeah,it seems different from the docs.I'm adding the gluster users list ,as they are more experienced into that.
@Gluster-users,
can you provide some hint how to add aditional replicas to the below volumes , so they become 'replica 2 arbiter 1' or 'replica 3' type volumes ?

Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov

 Thank you Strahil,The engine and ssd-samsung are distributed...So these are the ones that I need to have replicated accross new nodes.I am not very sure about the procedure to accomplish this.Thanks,
Leo

Hi Leo,
As you do not have a distributed volume , you can easily switch to replica 2 arbiter 1 or replica 3 volumes.

You can use the following for adding the bricks:

The other two hosts will be 192.168.80.192/193  - this is gluster dedicated network over 10GB sfp+ switch.- host 2 wil have identical harware configuration with host 1 ( each disk is actually a raid0 array )- host 3 has:   -  1 ssd for OS   -  1 ssd - for adding to engine volume in a full replica 3   -  2 ssd's in a raid 1 array to be added as arbiter for the data volume ( ssd-samsung )So the plan is to have "engine"  scaled in a full replica 3,  and "ssd-samsung" scalled in a replica 3 arbitrated.

Hi Leo,

Gluster is quite smart, but in order to provide any hints , can you provide output of 'gluster volume info <glustervol>'.
If you have 2 more systems , keep in mind that it is best to mirror the storage on the second replica (2 disks on 1 machine -> 2 disks on the new machine), while for the arbiter this is not neccessary.

What is your network and NICs ? Based on my experience , I can recommend at least 10 gbit/s  interfase(s).

Hello Everyone,Can someone help me to clarify this ?I have a single-node 4.2.8 installation ( only two gluster storage domains - distributed  single drive volumes ). Now I just got two identintical servers and I would like to go for a 3 nodes bundle.Is it possible ( after joining the new nodes to the cluster ) to expand the existing volumes across the new nodes and change them to replica 3 arbitrated ?If so, could you share with me what would it be the procedure ?Thank you very much !
Leo
