Abstract
An approach is provided in which a storage system includes a first storage controller, a second storage controller, and multiple logical units. The storage system determines that a controller traffic load ratio between the first storage controller and the second storage controller has reached a threshold. In turn, the storage system selects one of the logical units and changes a preferred controller ownership of the selected logical unit from the first storage controller to the second storage controller to balance the controller traffic load ratio.
