METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COST-BASED LOAD BALANCING FOR PORT SELECTION

摘要

Example embodiments relate to a method, a system, and a computer program product for load balancing for port selection. The method includes determining a processing load for each storage port in a plurality of storage ports having variable processing power and calculating a delay characteristic for each storage port of the plurality of storage ports according to its processing load. A command then may be sent to a selected storage port of the plurality of storage ports according to the delay characteristics and a policy.
