  " gluster volume remove-brick <volname> <brick> start " should migrate 
all the data from the decommissioned brick to
   the remaining bricks.
   check the status by "gluster volume remove-brick <volname> <brick> 
status " , if the status says "completed" you can commit the op by
"gluster volume remove-brick <volname> <brick> commit".

Make sure that you have enough space in the remaining bricks and there 
are no failures during migration before committing.
