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: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Storage/2.1/html/Admin...

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
