Abstract
A method, computer system, and a computer program product for sustainable data storage is provided. An IOP discovers a path between each defined I/O adapter and its endpoint. Based on a system configuration and the discovered pathing, the IOP builds a table comprising each I/O adapter, endpoint, initial adapter state. The IOP creates an I/O adapter redundancy mapping from the table and assign performance thresholds to each I/O adapter. The IOP continuously monitors utilization of each I/O adapter, whereby based on utilization for the I/O adapter reaching a defined threshold, the IOP enables a redundant I/O adapter path, whereby the redundant I/O adapter is a proxy for the I/O adapter.
