In addition to enabling and disabling on the database level, as described in Configuring the Rebalancer on a Database, the rebalancer can also be enabled or disabled on each individual forest. For the rebalancer to run on a forest, it must be enabled on both the database and the forest.
Note:
The rebalancer is enabled on each new forest by default.
To configure the rebalancer on a forest, follow these steps:
-
Click the Databases icon on the left-tree menu.
-
Select the database for which you want to configure the forest.
-
Click the database name, either on the tree menu or the summary page.
-
In the left-tree menu under the database name, select Forests.
-
In the Database Forest Configuration page, select the forest for which you want to enable or disable the rebalancer.
-
In the Forest Configuration page, scroll down to Rebalancer Enable, and set it to
trueto enable the rebalancer orfalsedisable the rebalancer. -
If you have configured the forest’s database with the range assignment policy, you can set the range for this forest in the lower bound and upper bound fields. Do not set a range if this forest is to serve as a default forest.
