Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure concern automated volume reconfiguration for volumes assigned to a virtual machine (VM). Properties of a volume controller with respect to a set of input/output (I/O nodes) used to transmit a set of volumes to the VM are analyzed, wherein each volume of the set of volumes is mapped to an I/O node of the set of I/O nodes. Based on the analysis, a reconfiguration action is determined, wherein the reconfiguration action includes migrating at least one volume of the set of volumes to a different I/O node of the set of I/O nodes. The reconfiguration action is then executed.
