Gluster users - Jan 2020 - Replacing brick in replicated volume without reducing redundancy?

Hi, 

I am looking to replace a brick in a replicated volume with arbiter (2+1
bricks).
Judging from this page: [
https://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Administrator%20Guide/Managing%20Volumes/#replace-brick
|
https://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Administrator%20Guide/Managing%20Volumes/#replace-brick
]
it seems that the procedure is: simulate a brick failure, then add a replacement
brick.

Is that the only way to do it? Isn't there a way to migrate the data on the
fly without running on reduced redundancy during the migration, like pvmove
exists for LVM?

Thanks, 

Stefan

I'm not sure if you can increase (and later decrease) the replica count
without stopping the volume.Have you checked that as an option ?
