How to remove bricks from one volume and add them to an existing distributed-replicated volume
Issue
The current configuration contains two servers:
- rhssa-001.example.com
- rhssa-002.example.com
On one server an old volume data_tmp can be removed, and the brick from that volume re-used to extend the volume called data. The second server has a free brick already.
The output of gluster volume info looks like this:
[root@rhssa-001 ~]# gluster volume info
Volume Name: data

Number of Bricks: 2
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: rhssa-001.example.com:/bricks/sdb2
Brick2: rhssa-002.example.com:/bricks/sdb2
Volume Name: data_tmp
