Okay, just tried it in 3.9 Even though attaching a non arbiter volume
(say a replica-2 ) as hot-tier is succeeding at the CLI level, the brick
volfiles seem to be generated incorrectly (I see that the arbiter
translator is getting loaded in one of the replica-2 bricks too, which
is incorrect). I'd recommend not to use arbiter for tiering irrespective
of hot or cold tier.

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.

I've been googling this to no avail so apologies if this is explained
somewhere I missed.
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."
