About this task
The disk space balancer checks every storage pool on a regular basis and moves containers from a storage pool when that pool's utilization meets the following conditions:
- The storage pool is over 70% full.
- The storage pool's utilization exceeds the average utilization on the cluster by a
specified threshold:
- When the average cluster storage utilization is below 80%, the threshold is 10%.
- When the average cluster storage utilization is below 90% but over 80%, the threshold is 3%.
- When the average cluster storage utilization is below 94% but over 90%, the threshold is 2%.
You can use the config
save command to modify disk space balancer parameter values.
Example: # maprcli config save -values
{"cldb.balancer.disk.max.switches.in.nodes.percentage":"20"}
The following list specifies the disk space balancer configuration parameters
with their default values and descriptions:
- cldb.disk.balancer.enable
- Default Value: 1
- cldb.balancer.disk.threshold.percentage
- Default Value: 70
- cldb.balancer.disk.max.switches.in.nodes.percentage
- Default Value: 10
