[Gluster-users] Adding/Removing bricks/changing replica value of a replicated volume (Gluster 3.2.1, OpenSuse 11.3/11.4)
Hi! Until now, I use Gluster in a 2-server setup (volumes created with replica 2). Upgrading the hardware, it would be helpful to extend to volume to replica 3 to integrate the new machine and adding the respective brick and to reduce it later back to 2 and removing the respective brick when the old machine is cancelled and not used anymore. But it seems that this requires to delete and recreate the volumes, as I did not find a way to increase/decrease the replica value. Any hints? Regards,

As of now, there is no option to increase the replica count of a given volume. We are working on this (bug 3305), and this feature will come only in release-3.3.0 -Amar On Wed, Aug 24, 2011 at 4:04 PM, <gluster1206 at akxnet.de> wrote:> Hi! > > Until now, I use Gluster in a 2-server setup (volumes created with > replica 2). > > Upgrading the hardware, it would be helpful to extend to volume to > replica 3 to integrate the new machine and adding the respective brick > and to reduce it later back to 2 and removing the respective brick when > the old machine is cancelled and not used anymore. > > But it seems that this requires to delete and recreate the volumes, as I > did not find a way to increase/decrease the replica value. > > Any hints? > > Regards, > _______________________________________________ > Gluster-users mailing list > Gluster-users at gluster.org > http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users >-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
