-h2. Install keep-balance
+Keep-balance deletes unreferenced and overreplicated blocks from Keep servers, makes additional copies of underreplicated blocks, and moves blocks into optimal locations as needed (e.g., after adding new servers). See "Balancing Keep servers":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/keep-balance.html for usage details.
-Keep-balance can be installed anywhere with network access to Keep services. Typically it runs on the same host as keepproxy.
+Keep-balance can be installed anywhere with network access to Keep services, arvados-controller, and PostgreSQL. Typically it runs on the same host as keepproxy.
-*A cluster should have only one keep-balance process running at a time.*
+*A cluster should have only one instance of keep-balance running at a time.*
-On Debian-based systems:
-
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo apt-get install keep-balance</span>
-</code></pre>
-</notextile>
-
-On Red Hat-based systems:
-
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo yum install keep-balance</span>
-</code></pre>
-</notextile>
-
-Verify that @keep-balance@ is functional:
-
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">keep-balance -h</span>
-...
-Usage: keep-balance [options]
-
-Options:
- -commit-pulls
- send pull requests (make more replicas of blocks that are underreplicated or are not in optimal rendezvous probe order)
- -commit-trash
- send trash requests (delete unreferenced old blocks, and excess replicas of overreplicated blocks)
-...
-</code></pre>

-h3. Create a keep-balance configuration file
-
-On the host running keep-balance, create @/etc/arvados/keep-balance/keep-balance.yml@ using the SystemRootToken from your cluster configuration file. Follow this YAML format:
-
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>Listen: :9005
-Client:
- APIHost: <span class="userinput">uuid_prefix.your.domain</span>:443
- AuthToken: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
-KeepServiceTypes:
- - disk
-ManagementToken: <span class="userinput">xyzzy</span>
-RunPeriod: 10m
-CollectionBatchSize: 100000
-CollectionBuffers: 1000
-LostBlocksFile: /tmp/keep-balance-lost-blocks.txt # If given, this file will be updated atomically during each successful run.
-</code></pre>
-</notextile>
-
-If your API server's SSL certificate is not signed by a recognized CA, add the @Insecure@ option to the @Client@ section:
-
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>Client:
- <span class="userinput">Insecure: true</span>
- APIHost: ...
-</code></pre>
-</notextile>
-
-h3. Start the service (option 1: systemd)
-
-If your system does not use systemd, skip this section and follow the "runit instructions":#runit instead.
-
-If your system uses systemd, the keep-balance service should already be set up. Start it and check its status:
-
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo systemctl restart keep-balance</span>
-~$ <span class="userinput">sudo systemctl status keep-balance</span>
