Rebalance Ports
If a controller has been added or taken offline, ports can become unbalanced. If ports are unbalanced, you are prompted to balance the
ports by a message at the top of the Summary tab.
Prerequisites
NOTE: Front-end ports are automatically rebalanced when using SCv2000 and SCv3000 series controllers. It is not
necessary rebalance ports manually.
Steps
1. Click the Storage view.
2. In the Storage pane, select a Storage Center.
3. Click the Summary tab.
4. In the banner message, click Rebalance Ports.
The Rebalance Ports progress dialog box opens, and closes when the rebalance operation is complete.
