- Verify the correct object protection level exists in the cluster.
- Distribute replicas and erasure coding segments properly across subclusters.
- Enforce lifepoint policies by enforcing replica and/or erasure coding segment counts and delete policies (specifically, terminal lifepoints) at different policy time intervals.
- Validate the object on-disk integrity and create a new replica if the integrity is compromised.
- Economically store and load balance by periodically evaluating if an object is optimally stored in its current location.
- Defragment storage space on an as-needed basis.
