Abstract

Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for placement of virtual volumes based on activity levels are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes obtaining a request to create a new virtual volume on a storage cluster comprising a plurality of storage nodes; determining a total activity level for each of a plurality of storage nodes of the storage cluster in response to the request, wherein the total activity level for a given storage node is determined based at least in part on an activity level value of each virtual volume currently hosted on the storage node; selecting one of the plurality of storage nodes to host the new virtual volume based at least in part on the determined total activity levels; and creating the new virtual volume on the selected storage node.
