Abstract:
Storage area network (SAN) load balancing process is disclosed. The load balancing process can include monitoring an input/output workload within the SAN. The input/output workload of a first source to first destination is monitored by an analyzing unit. The analyzing unit gathers a source identifier (S_ID) and a destination identifier (D_ID) to determine the location of a first source and a first destination. An input/output workload of the first source and the first destination can be tracked by the analyzing unit. The analyzing unit can be used to determine if the first input/output workload is above an upper threshold. A first condition can be logged based on the determination of the first input/output workload being above the upper threshold. The determination of the first condition is communicated to a first user.
