Abstract
A storage network is operable to obtain resource utilization information for a plurality of storage units of the storage network. The plurality of storage units are grouped, based the resource utilization information, into an underutilized resource group and an overutilized resource group. A first subset of a plurality of tasks is assigned to one or more storage units of the underutilized resource group. A first set of requests, corresponding to the first subset of the plurality of tasks, are issued to the one or more storage units of the underutilized resource group for execution. A remaining subset of the plurality of tasks are assigned to one or more storage units of the overutilized resource group. A second set of requests, corresponding to the remaining subset of the plurality of tasks, are issued to the one or more storage units of the overutilized resource group for execution.
