Is it possible to rebalance Replicated Data on StorageGRID?
Applies to
NetApp StorageGRID
Answer
- No, it's not possible to rebalance replicated data.
- Only Erasure coded (EC) data can be rebalanced: Considerations for rebalancing erasure-coded data.
- If the ILM is configured with replicated data, data will be distributed randomly across nodes, slightly favoring the more empty node.
- This will eventually balance out usage across nodes. This is a passive process, at this time there is no active process to redistribute/rebalance replicated data across nodes.
