Command
weka cluster drive deactivateRunning this command will redistribute the stored data on the remaining drives and can be performed on multiple drives.
Note: After running this command, the deactivated drives will still appear in the list.
Note: It is not possible to deactivate a drive if it will lead to an unstable state, that is, if the system capacity after drive deactivation is insufficient for the SSD capacity of currently-provisioned filesystems.
Drive deactivation starts an asynchronous process known as phasing out, which is a gradual redistribution of the data between the remaining drives in the system. On completion, the phased-out drive is in an inactive state, that is, not in use by the Content Software for File system, but still appearing in the list of drives.
Note: Running the weka cluster drive command will display whether the redistribution is still being performed.
To deactivate a drive, run the following command:
weka cluster drive deactivate <uuids>
