If you are using EPEL packages to create/run gluster volumes on RHEL 
(essentially the server side functionality of gluster), it would be 
better to move to GlusterFS 3.4.1 and then try the upgrade.

If you are not making use of gluster's server side packages, you can 
remove glusterfs-cli and related dependencies. If an upgrade is 
initiated after that, it should go through.
