Redistributing Data
84
Workspace Redistribution Batching
Redistributions are performed on 20 Workspaces at a time. If your Storage Group exceeds 20 Workspaces, the
Workspace Status shows “Redistribution In Process” for the first 20 Workspaces and “Redistribution Pending” for
the remainder of Workspaces in that Storage Group. As Workspaces finish with the redistribution, the
“Redistribution Pending” Workspaces start to redistribute until all the Workspaces in that Storage Group have
finished the redistribution.
Performing a Full Redistribution
In addition to automatic redistribution operations (see “Redistributing Data” on page 81), you can also initiate
redistribution manually; for example, to perform a full redistribution when the Config Changes count exceeds 20.
(For information about Config Changes, see
“Viewing Workspace Details” on page 73.)

When the Config Changes count reaches 20, a message warns you to perform a redistribution.
When redistributing files manually, apply the redistribution to all Workspaces in a Storage Group. Avid does not
recommend performing a full redistribution on some Workspaces in a Storage Group and not on others.
You can choose specific Workspaces to redistribute, or select one or more Workspaces from one or more Storage
Groups, and redistribute all the Workspaces associated with those Storage Groups.
To redistribute Workspaces manually:
1. From the Management Console home page, click Workspaces in the System section.
The Workspaces page opens.
2. Do one of the following:
t Select specific Workspaces, then click Advanced Commands.
t Select a single Workspace, then click Advanced Commands.
t Select one or more Workspaces from different Storage Groups, then click Advanced Commands.
The Advanced Workspace Commands dialog box opens.
3. Do one of the following:
t Click Full Redistribution.
Only the selected Workspaces start redistribution.
t Click Full Redistribution for All.
Redistribution starts for all Workspaces associated with the Storage Groups of the Workspaces you
selected.
A confirmation message box opens.
4. Click OK.
Files are redistributed, and the count in the Config Changes column is reset to zero. The amount of time
required for the redistribution depends on the amount of data in the Workspace.
5. If Storage Managers have rebooted following the completion of a full redistribution, do the following:
a. Click Advanced Commands.
The Advanced Workspace Commands dialog box opens.
b. Select Verify Redistribution, and then click Send.
