Abstract
Embodiments are directed to a load balancer process for use in a deduplication backup process implemented in a cluster system that provides ideal placement of the Mtrees on the expanded capacity by monitoring the available capacity and providing recommendations on the best node to place newly created Mtrees. Continuous monitoring of the capacity and activity level of the nodes helps identify the appropriate node to place a new Mtree. The monitoring of existing node in the cluster and balancing capacity by recommending migration of files from heavily-utilized nodes to under-utilized nodes produces an overall increase in cluster performance.
