[Gluster-users] Add an arbiter when have multiple bricks at same server.

[Gilberto Ferreira]

So I went ahead and do the force (is with you!)

gluster volume add-brick VMS replica 3 arbiter 1 arbiter:/arbiter1
arbiter:/arbiter2 arbiter:/arbiter3
volume add-brick: failed: Multiple bricks of a replicate volume are present
on the same server. This setup is not optimal. Bricks should be on
different nodes to have best fault tolerant co
nfiguration. Use 'force' at the end of the command if you want to override
this behavior.
pve01:~# gluster volume add-brick VMS replica 3 arbiter 1 arbiter:/arbiter1
arbiter:/arbiter2 arbiter:/arbiter3 force
volume add-brick: success

But I don't know if this is the right thing to do.
