Abstract
Storage workload balancing in a data processing environment is provided by detecting automatically overloaded storage providers and automatically transferring storage subsystems from overloaded storage providers to storage providers with available capacity. This automatic workload balancing prevents some storage providers experiencing reduced performance while other available storage providers have unused excess capacity. If all of the available storage providers are overloaded, a new storage provider may be added automatically to a server and operating system instance that is best able to handle extra work.
