Claim 14:
15. An apparatus, comprising:
a storage system comprising at least one processor, and a system memory configured to store program code, wherein the program code is executable by the at least one processor to configure the storage system to:
monitor a distribution of input/output (I/O) workload across resources of the storage system to detect for an occurrence of an I/O workload imbalance;
generate updated connection information for a host system connected to the storage system, in response to detecting the occurrence of an I/O workload imbalance; and
send a request to the host system to discover the updated connection information for connecting to the storage system based on the updated connection information;
wherein in monitoring the I/O workload across the resources of the storage system, the storage system is configured to monitor at least one or more of (i) I/O operations per second, (ii) I/O bandwidth, and (iii) I/O response time, across at least one of ports and controllers of the storage system.
