Data Rebalancing

danger

This is an advanced operation. Please make sure to have a Forward Support Engineer on a call when performing this operation to avoid mistakes that can cause data loss.

In multi-node deployments, it is possible that the disk on some nodes is mostly used while other nodes have a lot of free disk space. It may be desirable to move some database replicas out of heavily used nodes to better rebalance disk usage across the cluster.

Rebalance Database Replicas​

  1. SSH into a primary node.
  2. Select Forward Enterprise > DBPodManager from the TUI.
  3. Select the database replica pod to migrate.
  4. Select the target node.
  5. The migration will proceed automatically.

TUI Database Rebalancing

Verify the new database replica distribution after migration completes by reviewing the pod assignments in the TUI.
