Abstract
Techniques for allocation of storage volumes are described. Response times of a primary storage may be monitored to determine if the primary storage is input/output limited. A performance assist storage volume may be allocated and data replicated between the primary storage and the performance assist storage volume. Input/output requests may be distributed between the primary storage and the performance assist storage volume.
