Claim 4:
5. A method, comprising:
monitoring a distribution of input/output (I/O) workload across resources of a storage system to detect for an occurrence of an I/O workload imbalance;
generating 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
sending 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 the updated connection information comprises a list of ports of the storage system to which the host system can connect, to enable balancing of the I/O workload across the resources of the storage system; and
wherein the host system automatically disconnects from a given port which is not included in the list of ports provided in the updated connection information.
