Abstract
Techniques are provided for managing load distribution in a data storage system which comprises storage server nodes and storage nodes, wherein each storage server node comprises one or more distribution targets, wherein each distribution target comprises a logical processing unit that is configured to manage input/output operations for accessing data in the storage nodes. A process for managing the load distribution comprises: partitioning a logical address space into a plurality of distribution items; mapping the logical address space to a sequence of one or more distribution templates, wherein each distribution template comprises an ordered list of the distribution targets of the storage server nodes, which is uniquely different for each of the one or more distribution templates; and utilizing the one or more distribution templates to map the distribution items of the logical address space to the distribution targets of the storage server nodes.
