The cluster capacity threshold is calculated based on the potential loss of the largest node in this situation. Violating the rule of thirds will result in the following cluster alert: The mix of node capacities in the cluster is unbalanced because node ID <#>, "<NAME>" is greater than 33.3333% of the cluster's capacity.
