Abstract
In an approach for managing a storage system, distribution of storage volumes among a plurality of storage controller groups may be adjusted dynamically or adaptively based on the current access hot degrees of respective storage volumes in the storage system. In this way, optimized distribution of storage volumes can be achieved without user interference. Such redistribution eliminates the degradation of performance of the storage system.
