Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for performing cache load balancing between multiple virtual input/output servers (VIOSs) are provided. Aspects include monitoring a utilization level for a cache in each of at least two VIOSs and determining that an imbalance exists between the utilization levels of the at least two VIOSs. Aspects also include transferring at least one logical storage unit between the at least two VIOSs, wherein the transferring reduces the imbalance.
