RAID Rebalancing

Managed disks have been moved. These disks may contain data that is expected to reside in a different disk folder. RAID Rebalancing allows this data to be transferred off of the moved disks and back into the correct disk folder.

To rebalance RAID now, select Rebalance Now.

To schedule the rebalance process for later, select Schedule Rebalance.

If you would like to skip RAID Rebalancing for now, select Skip.

What You Need to Know

Depending upon the amount of data on your system, RAID Rebalancing may take several days. RAID Rebalancing moves the lowest scoring RAID Devices first; beginning with the smallest RAID Devices. RAID Rebalancing takes longer when the system is running low on space, or when temporary devices must be created to allow for the replacement of existing devices. RAID Rebalancing has the potential to fail or deadlock when moving some RAID devices. If this occurs, it may be necessary to add more disk space to the system to allow RAID Rebalancing to complete.

See the Compellent User Guide for additional information and illustrations of RAID Rebalancing.
