Description Plazmus 2018-04-27 09:12:18 UTC
Description of problem:

I have a cluster replica 3.
I terminated one node, built a new one and re-added it to the pool with:
gluster peer probe <new_node>

I started replacing failed bricks with (at that time 2 healthy nodes were quite busy, I had an rsync running):
gluster volume replace-brick vol_name <old_node>:/shares/red/brick <new_node>:/shares/red/brick commit force

Replacement of one of the bricks failed, but when I checked with:
gluster vol info

Brick looks like it has been replaced
Bricks:
Brick1: <healthy_node1>:/shares/red/brick
Brick2: <new_node2>:/shares/red/brick
Brick3: <healthy_node3:/shares/red/brick

I attempted to detach terminated node with:
gluster peer detach <faulty_node>

peer detach: failed: One of the peers is probably down. Check with 'peer status'


Steps to Reproduce:
It might be hard to reproduce as I've replaced nodes previously without any issues, it seems that load on the box prevented to complete brick replacement and now it's in a half broken state.

Any way to work around it?

Thanks

I managed to resolve/work around it.
To fix it I had to add peer in /var/lib/glusterd/peers, which was present on healthy nodes, but for some reason missing on the new one.

After that I was able to replace-brick with a new one.

The only issue left is that I can't remove disconnected peers, still getting:

peer detach: failed: One of the peers is probably down. Check with 'peer status'
