====== Highwater Offset ======

The [[object:repository|Repository]] Option ''[[master:adjusting_slot_allocation|Highwater Offset]]'' lowers the [[concepts:slot|Slot]] allocation below the total number of [[concepts:slot|Slots]] currently allocated to this [[object:repository|Repository]].

The main purpose of this function is to automatically move any Volumes assigned to any Slots above the highwater mark to be placed in a move to the available empty Slots below the highwater mark.

For example if the total allocation of [[concepts:slot|Slots]] to this [[object:repository|Repository]] is 500, setting the ''[[master:adjusting_slot_allocation|Highwater Offset]]'' to 100 will stop [[cli:tmss10slotallocation|TMSS10SlotAllocation]] assigning any Volumes above [[concepts:slot|Slot]] 400 (ie 500 total [[concepts:slot|Slots]] - 100 ''[[master:adjusting_slot_allocation|Highwater Offset]]'' [[concepts:slot|Slots]] = 400 assignable [[concepts:slot|Slots]] (1 to 400)).

Set the highgwater mark to the required value.  If not already enabled set Enable Slotting to True to ensure re-slotting is executed when TMSS10SlotAllocation is executed, either manually or scheduled.
