Using FlexGroup Rebalance

Flexgroup Rebalance is supported for moving volume data between the constituent volumes that comprise the FlexGroup. This feature is displayed by after you select the volume and specify the level of balance for the FlexGroup.

About this task

  • If the volume shows High, all constituent volumes are evenly balanced and no action is needed.

  • If the volume shows Mid, the FlexGroup is starting to become unbalanced and user action may be required.

  • If the volume shows Low, the volume is unbalanced and user action should be taken to rebalance the volume.
