This is still doable, assuming the server you want to remove the brick from is server_old, the destination brick is server_new and the device being moved is /dev/sdc1 your process would be close to -

1. Stop client access to the brick.
2. gluster remove-brick <options> server_old:/dev/sdc1
3. Move the LUN.
4. gluster add-brick <options> server_new:/dev/sdc1

You data will be immediately available.

Thanks,

Hi list,

I am using gluster 3.1 on gentoo. I have previously been able (with 3.0.x) to manually control when and on which host a gluster brick comes up. All my bricks are on iSCSI and hence transportable round the cluster. With 3.1 it seems that each brick is locked to a particular host. I have thought of manually using glusterfsd to start a brick with out the glusterd process running. But I am worried that if glusterd should be started later that it might try and start a second instance of that brick, or in some way clash with the all ready running brick.

Any ideas?

Pat
