[Gluster-users] Moving a physical disk from one machine to another

[Scott Hazelhurst]

Apologies if this is obvious but I’ve searched the documentation and mailing list and can’t see an answer.

One of my  servers which hosts a gluster brick has died beyond possible saving. The physical disk of the brick itself is good and I’d like not to lose anything. 

Can I just add it as a brick on another server? Unfortunately, I am not able to host the disk on a machine with the same IP address/host name. I suppose I could just add a new empty disk and then copy the data from the old disk but I’d prefer to do things as easily as possible.
