Rebalancing Volumes

You can rebalance a volume, as required. After adding bricks, you need to rebalance the data among the servers. New directories created after expanding the volume will be evenly distributed automatically through this process.

To rebalance a volume, perform the following steps:

  1. Choose from the menu, toolbar, or right click to select the volume. Select Rebalance Volume.

    The Rebalance Volume window is displayed indicating that the volume rebalance is successfully started.
