Path selection using a service level objective

摘要

In one aspect, a method includes measuring performance parameters for each path, determining classifications of each path based on a service level objective and sending I/Os using load balancing by the classifications determined. In another aspect, an apparatus includes electronic hardware circuitry configured to measure performance parameters for each path, determine classifications of each path based on a service level objective and send I/Os using load balancing by the classifications determined. In a further aspect, an article includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores computer-executable instructions. The instructions cause a machine to measure performance parameters for each path, determine classifications of each path based on a service level objective and send I/Os using load balancing by the classifications determined.
