Manually Migrate Clients to Another NAS Controller

You can manually migrate clients between NAS controllers if, for example, the network load on the NAS controllers is not balanced. Migrating a client to another NAS controller disconnects the client’s connection. Clients will then automatically reconnect to the NAS controller to which they were migrated.

1. In the Storage view, select a FluidFS cluster.
2. Click the File System tab.
3. In the File System view, select Cluster Connectivity.
4. In the Filters panel, select a client and then click Move. The Move Client to NAS Controller dialog box opens.
5. From the Move Client to drop-down list, select the NAS controller to which to migrate the client.
6. Click OK.
