The procedure to start balancing TPVs is as follows:
Procedure
1 Select the TPV to be balanced and click [Start Balancing] in [Action].

- When the total number of TPV balancing, RAID migration, and FTV balancing (*1) processes that are
performed at the same time is 32
- When the total capacity for the TPV balancing, RAID migration, and FTV balancing (*1) processes that
are performed at the same time is 128TB
