Start-VsanClusterRebalance Command | Vmware PowerCLI Reference

Start-VsanClusterRebalance

This cmdlet starts the proactive rebalance of the vSAN objects on the cluster hosts based on the vSAN disks usage when the disks are in imbalanced state. The typical use case is to add a new host or disk to the vSAN cluster. Rebalancing increases the background I/O requirements for data movements.
