Abstract:
Distributed storage resources are managed based on data collected from online monitoring of workloads on the storage resources and performance characteristics of the storage resources. Load metrics are calculated from the collected data and used to identify workloads that are migration candidates and storage units that are migration destinations, so that load balancing across the distributed storage resources can be achieved.
