You don't need to run re-balance for increasing the replica count.
Heals should automatically be triggered when you run 'gluster vol
add-brick <volname> replica 3 <list of bricks for the 3rd
replica>`. It is advisable to do this when there is no I/O
happening on the volume. You can verify that files are getting
populated in the newly added bricks post running the command. <br>
