NOTE: If needed, click Stop Spare Distributor on the Spare Distributor page to stop the
operation. Any peer sets currently degraded and being rebuilt by the Spare Distributor will
continue with the rebuilding process until completed.
Data Balancer
Data Balancer (formerly Capacity Balancer) redistributes peer set utilization by moving data
from more to less heavily used peer sets. Maintaining a balance of peer set capacity improves
performance by assuring a balance of read and write traffic across all peer sets.
Using Data Balancer
If the peer set data utilization becomes unbalanced, an alert banner is displayed in the Web
Management Interface.
NOTE: You can click Later to turn off the alert for 24 hours or Hide to dismiss the alert.
