7.8. Rebalancing Volume
Storage volumes are abstracted from hardware, allowing each to be managed independently. Storage can be added or removed from the storage pools while data continues to be available, with no application interruption. Volumes can be expanded or shrunk across machines by adding or removing bricks.
After expanding or shrinking a volume (without migrating data), you need to rebalance the data among the hosts. In a non-replicated volume, all bricks should be online to perform the rebalance operation. In a replicated volume, at least one of the bricks in the replica should be online.
Through Red Hat Gluster Storage Console, you can perform the following:
- Start Rebalance
- Stop Rebalance
- View Rebalance Status
