Did that change between 3.9 and 3.10? When I originally saw some 
references on the Redhat storage packaged solution about a possible 
incompatibility I assumed it just meant that the hot tier itself couldn't 
be an arbiter volume.

I was tripped up by the change in apparent support for the cold tier 
between 3.9 and 3.10. But maybe that was just a fixed oversight which 
never should have worked in the first place?

Hi Walter,
Yes, arbiter volumes are currently not supported with tiering.

Is there a known incompatibility between using arbiters and hot tiering? 

Experience on 3.9 

Original volume - replica 3 arbiter 1 
Attach replica 2 arbiter 1 hot tier - failure 
Attach replica 3 hot tier - success 

Experience on 3.10 

Original volume - replica 3 arbiter 1 
Attach replica 2 arbiter 1 hot tier - failure 
Attach replica 3 hot tier - failure 
Attach hot tier without specifying replica - success but comes in as a 
distributed tier which I would assume totally negates the point of having 
a replicated cold tier? 

The specific error message I get is "volume attach-tier: failed: 
Increasing replica count for arbiter volumes is not supported."
