Abstract
In at least one embodiment, processing can include: configuring a file server on a first node of a storage system, the file server including a file system configured on a volume; configuring a first path exposing the volume to the file server as active-optimized (AO) and configuring a second path exposing the volume to the file server as active-non-optimized (ANO); for the volume, while the first path's state is AO and the second path's state is ANO, determining an internode I/O workload imbalance between the first node and the second node; and responsive to determining the internode I/O workload imbalance, reducing or removing the internode I/O workload imbalance including: redirecting I/O workload of the volume from the first node to the second node over the second path by modifying the first path's state from AO to ANO and by modifying the second path's state from ANO to AO.
