Claim 13:
14. The computerized apparatus of claim 13,
wherein the first plurality of volumes includes an additional volume in addition to the third plurality of volumes, the additional volume serving block-based storage requests from a host via a first path that extends between the host and the first storage node, the first path designated as ALUA active/optimized, and
wherein, in response to detection of the load imbalance, the control circuitry is further constructed and arranged to redirect the host to access the additional volume via the second storage node by designating the first path as ALUA active/non-optimized and designating a second path as ALUA active/optimized, the second path extending between the host and the second storage node.
