Claim 8:
9. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable storage media storing program instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, are configured to cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
identifying a deallocated I/O queue of an entity in a storage system based on an identifier in an I/O queue deallocate message received from an admin queue associated with the entity;
broadcasting an Asynchronous Event Request (AER) message to similar entities in the storage system having respective numbers of I/O queues below a maximum I/O queue threshold, wherein the AER message indicates freed resources associated with the deallocated I/O queue that can be used for allocating new I/O queues by the similar entities in the storage system; and
allocating, in response to broadcasting the AER message, a newly allocated I/O queue to one of the similar entities by sending an I/O queue connection message via another admin queue associated with the one of the similar entities.
