Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 6:
7. 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;
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;
automatically invoking a migration process to non-disruptively migrate a volume from the storage system to a target storage system while the volume is being accessed by the host system, in response to determining an occurrence of an I/O workload imbalance between the storage system and the target storage system; and
sending a request to the host system to discover information for connecting to the target storage system to allow the host system to access the volume through the target storage system during the migration process.
