Add single node to running gluster cluster
Hi everyone, I have a working installation of oVirt (4.3.5) with 4 physical servers : 1 for engine and 3 nodes. They work with a distributed gluster fs and i want to add a new physical node in this cluster. Does someone could give me the right way to do this ? Thanks
You can add the node as a compute-only node and you will be able to 'consume' the CPU and RAM of that host.

Ok, thanks for your answer. If I understand well, I can't expand my gluster storage ? My goal was add a node when I can to growing up my gluster and my compute ability. Are there a way to do it ? I've read some documentations about it, but i haven't succeed to achieve it. Thanks
I believe you'd need to add in multiples of 3 hosts to expand gluster storage On Mon, Feb 22, 2021 at 3:56 AM <dvx.mellin@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks for this information. I guess I follow the same way of the first three nodes to add the next three one. But, sorry if I say something stupid, but why 3 by 3 ? My replication (default btw) is to keep 3 copies. If I add a node, he can keep 3 copies over 4 nodes no ? And same when there are 5 and more nodes. I don't understand this point, if you have a explanation or a documentation about it, I'm more than interrested Thanks
Gluster doesn't work with servers but bricks. Brick is a term for a server + mountpoint combination. If you wish to expand your gluster volume -> you have to do it via replica sets.replica 3 volume -> 3 bricks So, yes you can have 4 servers and all be part of gluster, but you need extra bricks.
