Start Auto Balance Volume for an Infinite Volume
Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the advanced privilege level.
Description
The autobalance volume rebalance start command
allows the user to start Auto Balance Volume and rebalance the used data
capacity in an Infinite Volume after files are created. Auto Balance Volume moves data between
data constituents of an Infinite Volume. If the Infinite Volume uses storage services,
Auto Balance Volume moves data between data constituents of a storage service in an
Infinite Volume. Auto Balance Volume ensures that all data constituents in an Infinite
Volume or all data constituents in a storage service of an Infinite Volume have similar
amounts of used data capacity.
The autobalance volume rebalance start command
is only supported for Infinite Volumes.
Parameters
- -vserver <vserver name> - Vserver
- This specifies the Vserver on which the Infinite Volume to be rebalanced is located.
- -volume <volume name> - Volume Name
- This specifies the Infinite Volume to be rebalanced.
- -storage-service <storage service name> - Storage Service
- If the Infinite Volume uses storage services, the storage-service
parameter is required to specify the storage service to be rebalanced. If the
Infinite Volume does not use storage services, the storage-service
parameter cannot be specified, and the entire Infinite Volume will be rebalanced.
- [-timeout <integer>] - Requisition Timeout (seconds)
- The maximum number of seconds Auto Balance Volume will permit an operation to
continue without moving files, before moving the operation to the complete state.
