I configured a volume as a replica 3 and now I want to convert it to a replica 3 with arbiter 1.
I cannot seem to locate any information on if this is possible or if I need to move my data, destroy the volume and recreate it.
I am running glusterfs 4.1.4
Volume Name: clustered_sites
Type: Replicate
Volume ID: 34ef4f5b-497a-443c-922b-b168729ac1c6
Status: Started
Snapshot Count: 0
Number of Bricks: 1 x 3 = 3
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: www-one-internal:/mnt/clustered_sites/brick1
Brick2: www-two-internal:/mnt/clustered_sites/brick1
Brick3: www-three-internal:/mnt/clustered_sites/brick1
Options Reconfigured:

Yes, you can. Ensure that there are no pending heals before you do so.
gluster volume remove-brick clustered_sites replica 2 www-three-internal:/mnt/clustered_sites/brick1 force
gluster volume add-brick clustered_sites replica 3 arbiter 1 www-three-internal:/mnt/clustered_sites/new_arbiter_brick
