Gluster users - Jul 2019 - What is the right way to bring down a Glusterfs server for maintenance?

I have a replica 3 cluster, 3 nodes with bricks and 2 "client" nodes, 
that run the VMs through a mount of the data on the bricks.

Now, one of the bricks need maintenance and I will need to shut it down 
for about 15 minutes.

I didn't find any information on what I am suposed to do.

If I get this right, I am suposed to remove the brick completely from 
the cluster and add them again when the maintenance is finished ?

Nope. Just:
* Ensure all volumes are fully healed so you don't run into split brain
* Go ahead and shutdown the server needing maintenance
** If you just want gluster down on that sever node: stop glusterd and kill
the glusterfs bricks, then do what you need to do
** If you just want to power off: then shutdown -h as usual (don't worry
about stopping gluster)

When you bring the server back up, glusterd and the bricks should start,
and the bricks should heal from the 2 replicas that remained up during
maintenance.
