Abstract
Example methods are provided for unbalanced storage resource usage configuration for a distributed storage system in a virtualized computing environment. An example method may include obtaining usage data associated with multiple storage resources forming the distributed storage system. The multiple storage resources are supported by the multiple hosts. Based on the usage data, the method may further include determining a higher usage set and a lower usage set of one or more storage resources from the multiple storage resources and configuring the multiple hosts to use the multiple storage resources in an unbalanced manner by using the higher usage set of one or more storage resources at a higher usage level compared to the lower usage set of one or more storage resources.
