Abstract

A method and technique for allocation and balancing of storage resources includes monitoring, for each of a plurality of storage controllers, an input/output (I/O) latency value based on an I/O latency associated with each storage volume controlled by a respective storage controller. An I/O latency value threshold is determined. Responsive to a change to the I/O latency value exceeding a threshold, storage volume distribution among the storage controllers is rebalanced.
