Details
Data is automatically redistributed evenly across all Pivot3 Acuity nodes in the virtual Performance Group (vPG aka "cluster") when a node is added.

When a node is removed from a Pivot3 Acuity vPG (aka "cluster"), the Erasure Code calculations are redone in CPU and the data is redistributed as a background process (throttled to minimise impact on performance). Because of the data protections distributed nature, it avoids the pain associated with rebuilding traditional RAID groups.

There is no user-intervention required for any the redistribution activities.
