Your add-brick command adds 2 bricks 1 arbiter (even though you name
them all arbiter!)

The sequence is important:

gluster v add-brick VMS replica 2 arbiter 1 gluster1:/gv0 gluster2:/gv0
arbiter1:/arb1

adds two data bricks and a corresponding arbiter from 3 different
servers and 3 different disks,?
thus you can loose any one server OR any one disk and stay up and
consistent.

adding more bricks to the volume you can follow the pattern.
