Thank you all for this.? Unfortunately I wasn't able to try this.? In my 
attempt to change the brick name, I noticed I'm on Gluster 3.13? (Not a 
typo) .? So I proceeded to update to 6.10 then from there, to 9.4.? To 
6.10 it went fine however from 6.10 to 9.4 everything blew up.? I got a 
torrent of error messages.? Struggled on it for several hours but no luck.
So I ended up blowing up the cluster after copying the data out to a 
single drive, then copying it back to the Gluster 9.4 cluster once the 
cluster was ready.? Would have loved to debug to see what to do about 
each error but I simply ran out of time and needed to get the cluster 
back up quickly. ( Still have most of the logs if interested but without 
some context, it would be somewhat meaningless. )
Nontheless, I'll keep the notes below. I have a few more Gluster 
clusters to work on.
Cheers
