Balance failed to start for volume data
This morning, my email notification reported the following error: "Volume: Balance failed to start for volume data." I searched for this message on the community forum, and the documentation,...
The info in volume.log is particularly useful if you are interested in analyzing the running time of the various maintenance functions.
The balance completion will also show up in the log page in web ui. If you select the "volume" category you'll get a much shorter list, and it will include both the start and completion of the balance.
From your screenshot I see, that you have Antivirus service enabled as it is updating the virus definitions. In 6.6.1. AV seems to be a bit unreliable and the potential cause of various issues.
I would disable that service and manually run balance a few minutes after that. If that goes through fine, there is a good chance, that your scheduled balance will also run fine the next time it should kick off anyways.
Thank you Roland,
I will try that tonight, or in the morning.
I've read about the unreliableness..., but I am more likely to error on over-protection, than turning it off permanently.
But, for a couple manual rebalances, will do.
thank you,
AJ
Well, the regularly scheduled Balance seems to have launched.
In my reading threads on this, it appears that there are a number of posts on balance operations going on for weeks...
How will I know that it "completed" the process?
Thank you to all who contributed - much appreciated - we've got Balance Starting..., now how to know it's completed the operation?
At the bottom of volume.log you can see the maintenance history, which looks similar to the following:
