Abstract
A method for execution by a dispersed storage and task (DST) processing unit that includes a processor includes generating storage unit heat data based on a plurality of temperature readings received from each of a plurality of storage units, where the storage unit heat data indicates a first hot storage unit. A pair of storage units is selected from the plurality of storage units based on the storage unit heat data, where the pair of storage units includes the first hot storage unit and a second storage unit. A data swap request is generated for transmission to the pair of storage units, where the data swap request includes an instruction to transfer at least one first data slice from the first hot storage unit to the second storage unit and to transfer at least one second data slice from the second storage unit to the first hot storage unit.
